2000 TJ Sport. 5-speed, Dana 44 with 31 inch tires. I just tripped 73k
yesterday. Only problems so far:

Broken Oil filler cap - Replaced
Light under hood went out - Replaced
Gas gauge sometimes jumps to Empty, then back to where it should be

That's about it. Oil every 4k miles (Mobil Syn), Tires replaced at 40k (getting
time for new ones), xfer case/axles/trans changed to syn fluid at 50k, new
shocks and serpentine belt at 60k. It's been a pretty maintenance free vehicle
for me. Just curious what others are getting mileage wise and how everything is
holding up for them. I drive 70+ highway miles a day. Hopefully I will get many
more trouble free years out of it yet. Should I look at replacing anything at
this mileage? (Brakes, hoses, lines, O2's, starter, alternator, gas filter [is
there one?))

A good time to check your brakes is on tire rotation.

I have a 2k as well. She has a tad under 50k miles.

I got my Teej used and it had a bit of the warranty remaining. Afetr the
warranty lapsed, I started getting problems, mainly with the cooling system.
I believe that the previous owner did not treat the vehicle as nicely as I
did. Anyway, I recently put in a new radiator. Everything was fien after
that until I overheated on the way to work and found that the rear freeze
plug went bad. Got that replaced and now I am seeing two coolant puddles
under the Jeep every once in a while, actually, I see it about every other
day. I have no idea now where it is leaking from.

I think that other than that, it has been relatively trouble free and that
if the previous owner had not been running tap water through the coolant
system, it would not be giving me these poblems.

I am just waiting until I can trade this one in on a new one. I'm hoping to
find a good deal on a new one with a warranty since I am upside down in this
one.

Anyway, happy Jeeping and I hope that your TJ keep ya runnin' for many more
years.
