Default JK daily driver, how many???

How many of you guys use your JK's as a daily driver??? I bought a new JK a few months ago but right now it's only used as a weekend driver ratting around town. I'm considering selling my current daily driver (Chevy truck) and use my Jeep as a daily driver. I bought the truck new in 07' and have nearly 60k miles with no issues. Is there any common issues that come up when using the JK as a daily driver that eventually racks up the miles??? Keep in mind, I only keep the jeep on the road.

My jeep: 2010 2dr sport, 3:73 gears, manual w/rubicon wheels and M/T tires.

Thanks!!!!!

I use mine as a daily driver. I have a small work truck, but it just sits because I always grab the Jeep keys. I am thinking about selling the truck and using the money for mods!

I have used mine as a DD since January, and I used my lifted TJ as my DD for 5 years. No problems with either.

DD for me. Sure, I'd love to be able to build up the Jeep and have another dedicated DD so I wouldn't have to worry about mods affecting road handling too much... But the list of things I'd like to have...and the list of things I can afford now don't really match up, yet.

One common "issue" that people have is actually enjoying their drive to and from work.
