No, we got it around 250K or so. It has been nice to us. We have off
roaded it on some pretty insane trails and it still hangs in there.
Minus a few pieces like the rear bumper end and some trim bits trees
took out, but.... ;-)

The slave is going, so I am going to have to pull the thing apart
soon.... Oh well, it likely is in need of it's first clutch change
too.... (only one previous owner and I have the history)

I have also put about 40K miles on my CJ7.

We have decided we like Jeeps and will likely stick with them. Well, we
will never sell our CJ7, that's for sure, we might upgrade to a newer
Cherokee some day.

Didn't you say the Duct tape finally gave out on your rear bumper?

I was going to work the other day (south from Barrie on the 400) and some
guy in his Ford had obviously been bombin around cuz he was covered in mud.
I was jealous!
BUT, the guy must've been going pretty hard and careless, cuz his tow hitch
assembley had been partially ripped off.
The whole left side had been sheared at the bolt holes and from the look of
it, there wasn't much more than half holding on the right side.

He blew past me....so hopefully someone stopped him for that thing fell off
and made like one of them 'dam-buster' bombs.

LOL!

No, it 'only looked like a little' puddle kinda trip in a whole bunch of
shallow ones at midnight in the middle of nowhere. Sicker was a 3' deep
washout.... The drop took off the bumper end. Good thing
Snowboardripper was right behind me with his TJ and winch, there was no
going forward or around me on that trail into the camp. We had to go
back around another way.

Got photos....
