High mileage on a Jeep Cherokee?

Most non-Jeep people cringe when I tell them my Jeep Cherokee has over 250K miles on it. When I tell them my best friend has over 350K they are astounded. Very soon my friend’s 99 Jeep Cherokee Classic will surpass 300K miles from all the traveling that has been done in hers.

People most familiar with Jeep’s will say that 150K on a Jeep is nothing and that anything under that is just its breaking in period.

My best friend who has the (1991) Jeep Cherokee with 350K+ miles has the original engine and transmission. About four years ago he changed the starter for the first time! And as embarrassing as this is, my friend with the 99 Cherokee has never changed the spark plugs and spark plug wires…

Jeeps are tough cookies.
