You really need to get a grip on reality. My 98 is at 160K and running like a champ and looking pretty good too if I say so myself. Here's a picture and there's more in my gallery.

Ya gotta maintain it if you want it to keep running. Sometimes you need to drop some dineros to replace rusted out fenders and a few other worn out components like I'll be doing soon. You can't just beat it to $hit and expect it to last. That goes for pretty well any vehicle.

I expect to hand this one off to my daughter when she graduates from high school. She's in grade 5 now, and I'll be driving it every day between now and that fateful day. Maybe she'll inherit a classic

i am definately not a model driver :D i have an 04 TJ Rocky Mountain 4.0 with a 5 speed stock as of yet, and i average 400 km per tank with about equal highway to city driving

I have friends who have had the 4.0 go over 400,000km before a rebuild was needed.

My 4.0L TJ on 33's was getting the same milage as my 2.5L TJ on 32's was which was about 380 km.
The 4.0L is on 35's now and I get about 280 km to a tank. The 35's make a drastic difference on milage and power with the stock gears.

as most people have been saying,jeeps don't get that far on a tank of gas especially
lifted and bigger tires etc. etc.but if yous must know lucky if i get 325kms .

I installed the Edge Trailjammer Kit on my 4.0L and there was a substantial improvement in both power and milage. Gained about 50 km per tank. Ran it that way for a year then put on a Magna Flo Cat back on it and that really worked with the Throttle body mods.
It goes like it's on 33's

Stock Throttle Body at 58mm vs a 62mm Throttle Body... You're gonna get a power gain.
Can't say much for those throttle body spacers though. Had one on my old 2.5L TJ and I notice a slight increase in throttle response but it had no effect on milage.

I would never go for the 4 cyl my friend has it and has to down shift alot on the highway just to try and keep it at 110km it really sucks for him he really wishes he bought a 6cyl

The 2.5L is not fast, but it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys once you get it off the highway.

And 110kph should be no problem for a 2.5.

Putting on a High flow Magnaflow cat and muffler tomorrow, that will be it for the uncorking process, Airaid intake, stainless headers etc, I will let you guys know if the mileage changes.

There is more power at the wheels for sure WAY MORE!
