Well put me in the minority cause I financed my JK for 6 years and intend on keeping it at least that long. It had damn better last that long too. I don't trade cars like I do girlfriends.

The lifetime warranty is a sales gimmick, not an attempt to actually stand behind their product. That's why if you miss any of your 5000 mile "inspections", it's void-- or if you sell it to your neighbor it's void. They aren't backing the quality of the powertrain, they're just giving folks an incentive to buy and crossing their fingers that they don't have to make good on the warranty a decade later. 
Seriously, I doubt we're missing out on much.

Oh well. My 3.8L isn't covered for life. I hate that too, cause one day when it blows and the kits are complete and ready to bolt in, my JK will be running a GM small block!! 
tranny & t-case eh, whatever. Tranny is buildable, if not replaceable. T-case, just like every other out there has been can be scavenged from a junkyard if it can't be rebuilt.
While I do think its kinda crappy I don't get the lifetime warranty, at the same time I don't care. I don't want that Effin Mopar shit in there anyway.
sorry, GM at heart but I love meh Jeeps and don't mind at all crossbreeding the two.
