60,420 miles. 2008 JKU Sahara 6-speed.
Regular fluid changes. K&n air filter cleaned at each oil filter change.
No major problems other than tire expenses. Never seen a dealership or mechanic other the. My father and I doing stuff.
Cleaned the throttle body about 15000 miles ago, probably due for another cleaning.

I had 58k on my 08 and had no issues (besides the oil consumption).
I now have 8500 on my 2012.
I think we all think there are more problems than there actually are.
We just see it more on the forums.

Not even remotely close. You only hear from whiney newcomers to the Jeep world. I've owned 7 Jeeps - over 30 years - and never had one major problem. Not even minor problems. Only had two recalls (minor) and both were handled quickly and professionally. The vast majority of Jeeps never have a problem. If you have a problem take it in under warranty and have it fixed. Problem solved. So I guess when you add a category for over 200,000 miles driven in a Jeep with no problems - I'll enter my vote.
