Re: How many miles are on your TJ?
'02 TJ Silly APEX edition the the dumb hood sticker. Had that removed upon
purchase.
Not much gone wrong (echo:knock on wood:echo)
Less than 3 weeks with it and at about 700km's my brake booster took a dive
on me.
Great thing for warrantees eh...but I was on my way to my first
camping/wheeling trip.
Broke on the highway at rushhour and with only 15 minutes 'til the dealer
closed. Oh, I was 100km from home.
Got in no prob and was very happy...except that the courtesy was a 98 Neon.
got made fun of for a while with that one.
Had it in every 3 months so far getting oiled up and it's diaper changed.
Oh ya...she'll be 2 in April and she's only got 17000km on her. Put on 3k
in the last month driving to my new job!
Just installed an AFE airflow system and am now getting about 18mpg, which I
don't think is too bad.
Love her though!
Just wished I had saved up for another year and had a bigger downpayment AND
picked up the Rubi....dam eh!

Re: How many miles are on your TJ?
98 TJ 50K 2.5 5 speed Soft top
3" suspension lift. 33 x 12.5's
New wheels at 40k, change oil (Mobil one every 5K )
Replaced Cat converter, muffler, brakes, battery, rotors, serpantine belt and
the "all too well known" exhaust manifold bolt ... not manifold itself in my
situation)
Replaced original fender flares for wider ones, new sterio, new carpet ...
fixed that damn interior leak,,,,, 2" seat lift, replaced the zip-out plastic
widows with fiberglass sliders, battery, high-lift jack. Crome mirrors to match
new rims.
One tune-up at 40K .... I know, ... it should have been done at 30.
Would like to change the front bumper (the goofy ends anyway)
This is my daily driver. It only goes "off road at Daytona Beach or an
occassional romp through Ocala State forest in Florida.
When should I replace the trans / front oils?
I treat her like a baby. She looks and runs brand new.
Thanks guys
George
P.S. If I continue my "baby-ing" how long should "she" last without major
overhauls?
What else should I be keeping an eye on? Clutch etc. (I drive 20 miles
round trip everyday to and from work ... one or two stops (red-lights) on thhe
way. Week-ends are ..... whatever presents itself.
