Default How many miles with no major mechanical problems with their jeep?

It seems like everyone here has major problems with their jeeps. I have had zero problems with my 11 Rubicon Unlimited in ~30K miles. How about everyone else? How many problem free miles?

10 3.8 6speed 2door. I'm at 50k and no issues yet. ( knock on wood). Running 10w30 k&n oil filters and tighten all bolts every oil change. I've swapped out a good portion or the suspension and axels but haven't touched the motor and transmission. Biggest problem to date was replacing that dang ebrake. :(
