So, my JK hit 100,000 miles a week ago. Now it has a couple hundred over 100K
Its a 2007, I bought in Woodbridge Virginia when I was stationed at Quantico. Bought it October 30 2006.
It has driven from VA to home in MA, and back, and now up to The Canadian Border of Norther Maine.
The engine runs like it did the day I bought it, and It has also been wheeled quite well at times. When Im not wheeling her, I keep her clean and take care of all the essensials needed.
So this 3.8L mini van engine as some call it, takes a pretty good beating and lasts, from my experience.
Just wanted to share that with you all.

At the rate I am driving mine, 100k will take over 12 years. Glad it should be running strong at that time!
The 3.8 in my mother in law's caravan finally gave up when something happened to the oil pump around 350k miles. They swapped in a low mileage unit that only had 220k on it and drove it for another few years before the body rotted away.
Proper maintenance. Let us know when you hit 200k!
