Hey guys.
I have owned my jeep since 1/15/2014. It's an 05 WK with the 3.7. After being a member here since i bought the jeep, i have dreamed of building it. Due to lack of funds, and the fact that I drive so much, that's not going to happen. So instead of a build thread, I'm creating more of a Mileage/Maintenance thread. (Let's see how far i can go) type thing.
Ill probably only be updating once a month, but this should be interesting.
I have been working for a realty company as a field inspector since April 2014.
For my job, on average I have been driving 200 miles every day, 5 days a week (Sometimes 150, sometimes 300) Usually 3-4 hours a day...sitting in my jeep :)
I get fully reimbursed for all of my gas. :) But all wear and tear.... yeah that's on me :(
Jeep purchased 1/15/2014 with 82,812 miles.
Today's ending mileage 10/7/2014 -- 119,614
It has been an amazing vehicle so far.
Only things I have replaced--
- Rear tailgate struts
- Sway bar links and bushings ( Turns out, didn't even need them)
- Pcv valve (why not)
- Air filter
- Spark plugs at around 100000 ( original plugs it seemed :S )
- Radiator (over temp at idle)
- Oil and Filter Obviously ( Mobil 1 High Mileage and Napa Platinum Filters)
I still need to replace my heater core. I have gone through countless gallons of coolant in the past 2 months. Tried K-Seal. Worked great! ...for 2 weeks.
Then mysteriously my radiator stopped working....Stupid K-seal... Long story short? I have bypassed the heater core... It makes for cold mornings. Hopefully replacing it this weekend.
Oh yeah--- pictures
Needs a nickname still too...
Sorry for the long post, thanks for reading
Any questions, tips, comments, feel free
