Sup guys
Say I have an 04 jeep KJ/Liberty sport. I'm the second owner, I just got it. It cleared my mechanic and a family member who's got a LOT (45 years) of experience with cars, still gonna run it past GF's grandpa. It's in stunning condition, interior is pretty much perfect, few scratches here and there and that's about it. Exterior is perfect, not a scratch. 3.7L V6, 5 Speed manual, brand new brakes, only mechanical issue I've seen is the ebrake has a little play, not a huge deal. Which brings me to, mileage.
A lot.
245,8XX or so on the clock.
Which brings me to my question. Assuming I keep up on oil changes, cleaning, and keep it away from lots of salt, how long will the frame last? Just the frame. Transmission, Suspension, Engine, all of that can be replaced, but once the frame is done, it's all done. How long can I expect on it? Also, where are all of ya'll at milage-wise?
>Pic semi-related, not mine tho

assuming you dont live in an area with snow it should last long into the 400k or higher range. also inspect your frame check all suspension components and axles rear diff and front diff.
also that thing better be 4x4
>>14844051
Of course it's a 4x4 senpai, I ain't a bitch
I live in colorado tbqh so roads aren't exactly perfect but I live in a pretty well plowed area. I'll get the frame checked and the suspension but I'm probably gonna put it on coilovers because tbqh I'm not extremely into offroading. Might go for a lowkey sleeper build and nigger out and when this engine blows, just buy another 3.7 v6, forge dem pistons and boost it, tint it, and duct tape an srt6 badge on it and drive around bumping young thug

i chuckled at this post.
but on a serious note i wouldnt lower a 4 wheel drive suv reason being is risk of transfer case hitting something and drive shaft lock up from also hitting something. if you arent into offroading maybe you havent done it or just didnt "go hard in the mud" that much. im a honda dude and even i love offroading in my friends trucks. jeep is my favorite wet dream off road company i absolutely love the liberty and would love one that was 4x4 and manual
>>14844127
kek
Maybe. I'm gonna look into it more, It's kinda a retarded idea but I have a super lowkey wet dream of dropping it a little more so I don't roll it and then rallying it like a mad cunt. I've done it to a point for sure but idk right now I'm just looking for a daily that I can downshift and hear the engine whine a bit, I'll offroad tomorrow for you though br/o/.
>>14844142
post pictures off roading!
i wanna see that bitch dirty br/o/
upgrade your piping and delete your muffler shit will be loud as fuck also put an air raid intake on it. put flowmasters on that bitch. im not sure if they make coilovers for jeeps if not you might need to chop the springs on your shocks or bag it
>>14844156
I will I'll make you proud. If you want I'll go take pictures now, it's kinda dark but it's in damn good condition. I haven't even driven it yet tbqh m8, 18th birthday present, and I still need to insure it. I've been thinking about doing mostly cosmetic mods right now and then when the engine shits the bed I'll start investing into more power. Right now I'm gonna focus on the interior, maybe a new steering wheel, reupholster the seats/put better seats in, maybe get it painted, new wheels, and if I feel retarded enough I'll put a short shift kit in it. Probably a new head unit too, just CD and am/fm is a pain in the ass, I'd prefer cassette. After that probably gonna go flowmaster exhaust, maybe headers, muffler delete for sure, kinda want a dual 3.5 inch tip just to be a stupid nigger kek. They do make coilovers but most of them are for lifting, who'd of thought? I've only found 1 or 2 good pairs of springs and I think bagging is the better option, it's just pricy. And yeah if you want pics I'll go take some real quick,
>>14844173
your the best lol
what you just described is literally what i would do if i had one lmao redoing the seats would be nice as well as the steering wheel id also put a light bar on top and an offroad jack across the hood lol your lucky you got it as a gift damn you lol and yeah if your down man i know its late id like to see it

It's a Chrysler product. It could die at any minute.
>>14844286
Ultra clean. Good purchase m8y. Keep the oil changed and if the engine is in good shape it will stay that way. If you're really worried take the oilpan and head off and check for sludge. Just a few bolts, plus a gasket. And a torque wrench.
