'94 YJ with ~90k miles on the clock. No significant problems that weren't directly attributable to gross negligence by the previous owners...

'95 YJ Rio Grande -- 76,200 miles on it still runs great and feels like it has some pep to it. Considering the previous owner towed around a 2500lbs Catalina 17' it's doing pretty good, had it for 6 months now.
