Self employed, so some days I don't drive - but when I do, I normally take the Jeep. I never planned for it to be a DD, but I find it does everything so well, that I leave the other vehicles at home. Using it as often as I do will dictate (restrict) the mods I can do to it, but that's OK by me.
Oh and 77K and still going strong!

Mine is a DD and has been driven cross country from Idaho to S Florida...
Just under 27K mi with 5.13, 35s, 4" lift and all kinda other stuff. Only thing that gives me a bit of grief for DD is the soft top flapping with the Gobi rack, but I use the rack too much to justify taking it off...not to mention it's just a BAMF.

DD for me. I do work out of my home though, but it goes everywhere we go on the weekend, so the milage is the same if I was working outside of my home.

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!!!!!

This question is too easy. Keep both vehicles. I only wish that I had this arrangement. The jeep is excelent for what it is. But try hauling a refrigerator or stack of wood. Pluss, every time that you drive the truck, you save miles on the Jeep.
