I drive jeeps for over 35 years and I never had one fail on me. As long as you maintain them, good oil, zinc additive for the 4.0's and 4.2's and it will take care of you. I drive my TJ 4.0 sport for over 5 years now, it has 202K kilometers on it and I daily drive this Jeep. Never ever did it miss a beat. I often hear about Jeeps being unreliable, well . . . . this has nothing to do with Jeep and everything to do with the owner or previous owner. I hav a 3" OME lift, 33" tires and the infamous D35 in the rear but I never had problems with it. I drive it on the highway, forrest roads etc. It holds up fine. Just your basic off road stuff. I service my rig every 7.500~10.000 kilometers and that's the key to success I think.
My 2002 TJ X has been a great vehicle. Picked it up in 2005 so I have been driving it for 19 years. Lots of mods completed, lots more to go. My daily is my work vehicle, but my Jeep has been my personal vehicle for all of those years.
I just bought a TJ. Doing a few things to it. Just upgraded head lights and bumper. It runs really well, want to add a 3.5 lift and 33’s I love it and will be taking it on some awesome trips in Queensland Australia
My friend I know how you feel I just bought a 98 jeep wrangler with 60 k original miles from the original owner . I am still smiling my first jeep happy as hell ☺️.
So I “daily” drive my TJ… I say daily, but really I drive it to the airport, where it sits for days and then drive it home again. I’ve owned my 2006 TJ Sport since it was new and it only has about 115,000 km, (around 71,400 miles) on it… I’m up here in Canada, and because they dump so much salt on the roads, it’s a real challenge to keep everything rust free, but for the most part it’s still pretty clean. I agree with you…Every time I get in it I enjoy it just as much as I did when I first bought it. It’s not a rough ride, it’s a Jeep and it drives like a Jeep… That’s why I bought it, that’s why I love it and if you’re not into Jeeps, you wouldn’t understand. My previous Jeep was a 1986 CJ-7 Renegade… that one was a daily driver. We lived in the Caribbean (Turks and Caicos), for a while and I actually had it shipped down there by boat, to drive while I was down there… I loved it even more than my TJ. I had it for 11 years before it was stolen and I never saw it again… That was a sad day!
I got 2005 jeep wrangler X 4.0 inline 6 (6-speed manual) I bought it in 2016 with about 70,000 now in 2024 it’s my daily I have 94,389 almost to 100k. I love it. I take it out Tierra Del Sol when the events happen. I love it. I don’t regret buying it.
i have a 2001 2.5 jeep wrangler with 232,000 miles on it and i still use it every day, i have icv problem with it and still love driving it and it is still storng, to me they are the best and loving it.
I picked up an 04 LJ (TJ unlimited) with 92k miles on it for 10k. I love it - I’ve been building it out and it needs a new top but it’s a great vehicle. One of my favorites I’ve ever owned!
Great find! I always wanted a LJ but couldn’t find one at the time. So I got a TJ instead. It’s in the shop right now getting some work done but I’ll be back off-roading soon. Thanks for the comment!
Welcome to the daily Wrangler use...got a 2005 4.0L 60 000km a real good one in excellent condition and trail equiped!soooo good to drive😉always a pleasure when I jump in it...greatings from a French Jeeper 🤗
Thanks. I love my 06 Wrangler and I’m probably going to keep it forever! I having a few problems but easy fixes. Still runs like a champ. Thanks for the comment!
I know exactly what you're saying about every time you get in it it's like the first time it's that awesome I got my 01 tj 4.0 about 6 months ago and I'm always offering to drive lol I had a 1980 cj7 straight 6 and I loved the hell out of the thing back in 1987 now I feel like I got my old baby back your either a jeep lover or a jeep heater there's no in between you and me are jeep lovers keep rockin
I bought a 97’ in 2000 for $9000….it had 56,000 in it. I drove it and maintained it for another 14yrs. with no major problems. Crank sensor left me stranded one time, but that’s typical for them. 225,000 miles later I sold it and tried to upgrade to JK…..sorry I did. I wouldn’t have hesitated to get in it and drive 1,000mi. to somewhere in it anytime. It was that reliable. Nothing wrong with the JK but man, when you have a good one, hang onto it.
Yeah I’m planning on keeping mine forever. I just need to fix some transmission issues but other than that it has been reliable. I think I’m done off-roading in it so I’ll just be my daily.
I’ve had three TJs in the past and just recently got one again. I have a JL too, but man have I missed the TJ. I switch between daily driving the two wranglers, but I think I enjoy driving the TJ more… there’s something about it that I can’t figure out.
I havnt had a back seat In mine in years, you should take it out to reduce weight, it's my opinion that you should treat the jeep like a motorcycle and reduce weight anywhere you can and that seat weighs like 60 pounds,
99 TJ Sport (146K) used as a toy, heavy duty 3.5" Krawler branded lift, 35x12.5 on 15's with a Dana 44 geared to 4.88 and lockers - tubed and armored with a heavy duty angled front bumper set-up with a Smittybilt 9500/synthetic, and plenty of recovery parts and medical rescue gear - under a hardtop because I'm an old man, lol - northern New Mexican high desert mountain trails, always seeking shiny placer patches and or old frontier home sites (late 1800 early 1900) to run detectors for bullion coins (with occasional creek side camping and fishing) - that's right, combining as many hobbies as we can under one toy lol
G,day jeeper,s from Australia ,I have a Tj wrangler 2006 4.0 65 th anniversary edition . The tj is a very good 4x4 i have travelled to some ove the most remote out back places it has 189000 km on it naw and runing nicely still it tow,s a camper trailer as well most ove the time , tj and I had a kangaroo strike two month's back Roo was a 6 foot male red . The winch and bar sorted him out steering linkage damage only naw fixed and still happy travelling YES TJ,S ARE A VERY RELIABLE AND TUFF 4X4 , So any way JEEP ON FREND, S
@@thakoolkidTRE it was the hardest hit 110 kph on a express way it put a holl new meaning to the saying Australia the land ove the flying kangaroo, broken finger and in shock for days after jeep just found he go the muffler to so I think oul the damage is fixed naw there was a car behind me and after the campers axl finished the Roo off it hit her car she was lucky I tenerised it for her and her two small children . So yes I was surprised to see no panel damage only had to remove the steering Damper as it folded . But was able to drive some 300 klm slowly but yep BOOM them a deth wobel but oul good just had to straten drag link next day . Could have been lots wers. I have hit a fue Roo,s in my life living in out back but that hit would have wrecked most car,s so at 60 years old TJ WRANGLER I would never drive any thing else.
Well done! I’m in the TJ daily club too. My wife has a 4 door JK Sahara, and it has been a GREAT vehicle for the 60,000 we’ve owned it. Much easier to daily, but it doesn’t have the same soul of the TJ. I’ve been driving a Viper for the last couple years, but I sold it this fall so I could buy and build up another TJ, and I don’t regret it at all. I’ve had a few over the years, and I always come back. Yours looks great, man. I just recently got my 35s installed and I love em too. It’s a little more to handle, but not bad at all. Have you had to do any brake upgrades with the 35s?
Thanks for the comment! I haven’t done any brake upgrades yet but I definitely need bigger brakes. I’ll probably upgrade them very soon. I’m probably going to keep my TJ forever and also buy a 4 door JL in the near future. Like I said thanks for the comment and have a great day.
Tre, I have not done the big brake kit either, but I did follow recommendations of many on the Jeep forums, and I bought some Black Magic front brake pads and Centric rotors. Wow, the difference is real. After the break in period, my Jeep is stopping better than it was on 33s when it had fresh normal pads. Black Magic brakes are no joke, and for about $260 it’s more than worth the upgrade! Check them out 💪
The excitement lasts? I feel that way now. Just excited when I get in it! Haha and it's way older and more old school than my daily car. I've only had it for a week though.
Yes the excitement last forever. I just got mine out the shop today and it felt like day one. I had minor work done. Congratulations and enjoy your new jeep!
I put over 212K on my 99 daily driver. Wife put 206K on her 1997 daily driver. Both very reliable. Wife sold hers and bought a 2004 Grand Cherokee with almost no miles. I sold mine for a 2003 Rubicon with only 12K miles. But the TJs were tanks
Enjoying your TJ videos! I daily drive mine as well and love every day of it. Quick question for you, I also have a 67 designs phone mount in the dash tray…curios why you point your phone up and out of the way?
Thanks! I have my charging cable by the glove box, which is connected to the radio. So I basically put my phone in that position when I listen to music. My stereo has apple CarPlay so I just connect it and move it out the way. I hope my answer helped.
I drive 18k miles a year, I really want a tj for my daily, (probably take the back seats out to fit my tools) I was wondering how you think about fuel and all. I live in North Carolina and pass 4x4 trails all the time in my straight piped Mazda 😂
Yeah get one. Jeep TJ are so fun! Now it do burn a lot of fuel so keep that in mind but that’s only for the 4.0 wranglers. Overall jeep TJ is a good buy.
Appreciate it man, and how bad is the fuel? My dad had a 4.0 jeep XJ and he had a throttlebody spacer better injectors and all that with a 6 inch lift and we’re still getting about 18 mpg. I’ve heard the TJ gets a little worse gas but I’m not sure.
having already been thru a luxury sport sedan crossover & sport GT i knew my next ride would be an overlander truck..& i been searching heart always wanted range rover l322 / jeep 2 door / isuzu vehicross but the experience of roof/doors off..even occasionally..gotta go jeep
