over 260 000km on my 07 rubi
over 260 000km on my rubi has had some issues but has never let me down,after this many miles kinda regret some of the little stuff I used to gripe about when it was newer,seems quite petty now(just put on 3rd set of tires but still original fan belt) very few vehicles can claim this kinda hard milage with very few issues,no breakdowns(has limped home couple times though)
stock front axle u-joints tend to wear out around every 100,000km as do the rear brakes,did front brakes at 250 000km still actually could have gotten a few km out of them,do to mis diagnosed trans noise got a short block under warranty at approx 150 00okm(trans is still noisy but shifts well,do have low milage spare just been to lazy to swap it),had front wheel bearing get noisy at approx 255 000km,did both fronts at that time,have almost 245 000 on mostly teraflex lift again very,very few issues,just got 143 000km out of a set of Mickey MTZ,for a daily driver that every once and awhile plays really,really hard,racks up piles of miles, my JK has been a fantastic ride would not trade it for any thing else

37k Transmission rebuilt, needs new ball joints, just got new rear brakes and rotors.
Poor thing has been abused by others though. Tree fell on it while i was driving it, I got sandwiched between 2 chevy blazers when some chick rear ended me going about 45mph and some drunk chick drove into my front passengers tire a year ago. Things are starting to get iffy with my suspension and other parts. Starting to wish I didn't fight so hard for them to not total it the 2 times they tried to. Thinking of trading for a new Rubi or a Ram 1500
