Hello all, from West Springfield MA
Greetings to all proud jeep owners, my name is Kevin and as of this Friday I will officially own a 96 sport. Its got roughly 181k on the motor, I am relatively new to jeep motors is this high or should I not worry and just continue with regular maintenance and a tune up. Idk if I should say this here but fellas give me credit I have seen the errors in my ways lol. I used to race ricers but it could take the new england weather, started looking into jeeps and said, f-it I want a man's vehicle lol.

Welcome to the family.
181,000 miles is still in great shape for a 4.0 if it was maintained well by the previous owner(s).

Thank you very much, lets say that for the sake of conversation that it wasn't, I'm no mechanic I wouldn't be able to tell by looking at it but it doesnt knock or tick, everything seems to be there that should be but if it wasn't properly maintained, what should I be on the lookout for?
