that's jeep life.....mine is 22 years old. Fixing and maintaining things is part of the fun.

Best advice to newbie Jeep buyer is buy stock do not buy a nice added on and lifted ready the higher chance of this has been off road abused and lots of hidden problems waiting to be discovered. Same reason why I seen lifted selling that have around 120k-150k miles that has issues that need to be works on while a stock one usually last over 200k-250k or more and still runs well.

I've got a 08 jkur 3.8 with 225000 and still goin strong

Dude you got lucky. If you haven't done your rockers yet and you still own the jeep..... get ready.

My first Jeep was a new 1986 CJ7. Had it for 10 years and 157,000 miles. Things go with age. Except to fix them.

When I owned a BMW, I came up with my own slogan. "Every new week is a new repair". I have an 88' YJ with a rebuilt engine I did myself. I was thinking of getting a JK. After watching your video, I might just keep what I have LOL.

One good thing. Those Jeeps look soooooo cool! I never had any trouble with my 1972 Commando, or my 19?? J-10 pre gladiator with a snow plow, (that came in handy), and my greatest love, my Grand Wagoneer in bright blue also a 198? model. Might be a better idea to swap out all of that electronics for a 4 barrel carburetor, V8. You only need to add gas, check the oil and coolant levels. Set the timing with a screw driver and a timing light. AH! Those were the days.

Been having my 2013 jk sahara unlimited with 64,000 miles for a little over a year now and It ended up getting the damn rocker tik which is costing me $1,500 to repair. I did get this thing from a friend for only $3,500 which I’m honestly not a jeep fan but for that price who wouldn’t get it? I’m not gonna lie they are fun to own and drive but I will most definitely be trading/selling it before more of these time bombs happen.

1. That coolant flush isn't going to help. But, if you do it yourself, you can swap the heater core for less than $100. 2. More electronic stuff coming your way soon. O2 sensors and Alternator. 3. The Texas heat is tough on plastics... like the transfer case cable bushing. 4. Cross your fingers your rockers stay quiet, too. (2013 JKU @ 140,000)

Good honest video. I get the frustration but the love I have for my ride too.

Having owned multiple vehicles over 100k from the 80’s and 90’s (and 2 pre-1970), to me this is cheap and fairly little going wrong. Try maintaining a 1950’s vehicle, it’s not hard, but it’s constant.

My 2015 JK developed an overheating problem at only 65,000 miles. Temp would raise the faster I went, up steep highway grades the temp would climb to the 3/4 line. Took it to several mechanics and nobody could figure out what the problem was. They checked everything, head gasket, temp sensor, thermostat, water pump, hoses, fluids, no solution. Had to sell it, looking at jeeps to buy again and Rubicon models that are no newer than 2014 WITH 200,000 miles are running $33,000. Absolute absurd, looks like I won’t be buying a jeep again.

SUBBED hey what brand of fenders do you have on that jeep ,I diG the little slits on them

I was worried it would be something big

Thank you for the video. It was enjoyable and informative.

I just bought a 2021 JLU sport with rubicon wheels. 4cyl 2.0 turbo 21k miles. For 31k. Convertible top. Had worn out K02s on it. I bought BFG trail terrains. Smoother ride better mileage too. Not my DD. It's. My toy.

Beautiful jeep

I love the 722.6 in my Mercedes and it is from 1997 the first year it was produced.

Mine is 60k miles i replaced window regulator for all of the 4 doors and now another 2 regular failed again it’s driving me insane

I have a 2014 its at 130km the only issue ive had is i had to replace the fuel injectors.

But a Jeep is fun to own! 😀

Over 300k here. 08 Sahara. I need front axles.

Toyota 4runner is just broken in at 100K. At 100K jeeps have one foot in the junk yard.

rocker arms and lifters will be next , big fun oh boy

I always like the looks of a Jeep Wrangler and thought about buying one till I actually took one out on a test drive and after the test drive thought ,what a miserable vehicle this is, and walked away wondering why people like these things so much and pay the kind of money Jeep is asking, because I remember many years ago people bought cheap military surplus Jeeps to use the same way people today buy the Quad 4 wheelers or a golf cart to use as something to use for work on their property to pull a small trailer or piece of equipment on the farm or it was kept at a cabin by hunters of fisherman to drive them to the lake or down trails to a place they wanted to hunt and it was never seen as something fun ,but utilitarian because of all the shortcomings it had that I experienced at my test drive, underpowered, noisy, harsh ride, limited cargo capacity, poor road handling and actually dangerous prone to roll over in a high speed accident avoidance maneuver, you would think the money they are charging for these things it would have Toyota type quality and reliability but it is not even close, Now people think all of the Jeeps shortcomings horrible gas mileage, harsh ride, underpowered ,overpriced and poor quality and reliability are endearing traits not something to be avoided and line up to buy them, the world has gone crazy,

These seem like normal car repairs for 150,000. Less than 2 cents per mile.

I feel the dealer fix of the tail light was a little high. I feel like they’d easily do it for $3,999,999,999.95. Those places negotiate right?

this isn't that bad... honestly, what did you expect from a Chrysler ?

Hows your trans now 2 yrs later? I changed my trans fluid (prolly didnt need it) but a month later the transmission burned-out. Was Relatively a new transmission. Then i heard from multiple ppl to never change the fluid in the transmission or you run the risk of burning it out.. Shrugs* idk.

I own the same POS Fiat/Chrysler. Spends more time at the dealership than my driveway. However, my is a 2017 I bought new along with a Mopar extended warranty. It has had many check engine lights a lot of trips to a dealer, not counting service work. At about 4 years and 45,000 miles with the check engine light light on, I dropped it at a dealership. 3 or 4 days later, the dealer called and said I needed a new engine. Oh, Chrysler won't cover it. It should've still been covered by the new vehicle engine warranty and the extended Mopar warranty. Again, every service completed by a Jeep Chrysler Dealership. It's on their computer. I took the Jeep to a different dealership, and Chrysler did have them rebuild the engine. That lasted about 5 months and 5,000 miles. I dropped it at the dealership with 7 engine codes. Again, Chrysler refused to repair or replace the engine. Dealership ppealed Chrysler still said NO. I was told only solution was replace the engine at my expense. $10,000 later, I have a Chrysler remanufactured engine. I'm sure everyone is saying sue. It ain't easy to find a lawyer who wants to go up against Chrysler. At this point, I'll never own another Chrysler product. I owned a new Fait in the 60's when I was stationed in Europe in the military. I have never owned another one of them either. Oh, 6 months and maybe 2,500 +/- miles on the new engine it's been back at a dealer for almost two months.

I have a high mileage jeep and it's been giving me a hard time I've put so many new parts and it has not help out

Do you still enjoy having a jeep even with the maintenance/repairs?

I have an 08 JK with 150K miles. Standard maintenance. Anyone with a "broken Jeep" is experiencing user error.

2007, 2008, 2012,2014 and 2015 are years to avoid at all costs. You are also putting the wrong coolant into your jeep I think. It will eat the metals.

I'm looking at a 13 JK 3.6L Rubicon Unlimited that has 180k miles. Stock. doesn't appear to have been off road. Good price under Trade In Value, 2 owner, but I'm not sure about that many miles. I'll just use it to drive USFS roads/trails. Is that too high of mileage for the 3.6L?

We should try to be more accurate with the real numbers it's a lot higher in price just for parts

Yo you're fn hilarious 😅

140,000 is high miles?

It's A Jeep Thing 😂😂😂😂😂

Buddy its not the heater core ,, dammit i just saw a guy fix this on a youtube video , but my dam brain cant remember what fixed it , i do know it was a easy fix tho.

BRATWURST! 👍

Which gas should i put in jeep 2011 3.8l - 87 octane or 91 octane?

At 114k miles my whole transmission got replaced it should You should do your maintenance a lil better bud.

there a guy on internet, with a 07 Jk, with 400k miles, google it.

My jeep jk blew up at 10,000 miles so ur lucky

Change the roller rocker

Damn man that's just bleak and terrifying for a Toyota Tacoma owner 😂 You just talked me out of buying a cheap jeep 👍

Really all you can really put in here is like 700 dollars worth of stuff. Tires dont really count, neither does rhino lining your trim. Most expensive vehicle Ive owned was a firebird formula with an LT1 - the cost of replacing that optispark as often as you do is insane. I also had two trucks from 2000 and 2002 and Ive spent about 6000 across the both of them for maintenance parts. Mostly suspension but some engine work Ive done myself. 700 for a jeep is ridiculously low. Youre talking as if it sounds expensive, I was a little scared going into your video but I think you lack proper perspective where this is concerned. I built 3 mustangs and Ive spent more on upgrade on them than you have on basic maintenance for your jeep. If I were you, I would count my blessings.

Sounds like all minor Jeep ownership nuances. Are YOU sure you DESERVE to be a Jeep owner at all?

I’m looking at a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with 107,000 miles. kBB is sitting between $17,800 - $19,000, is it worth the money in your opinion?

should i buy a jeep with 78k miles for 26k

I love Jeeps. I just bought a 2012 JK. I haven't even driven it yet. They are fun to own. But you almost have to be a mechanic to own one. The quality is HORRIBLE!!!! I just drive my Jeep in the summer. Tooooooo unreliable to be a daily driver. I drive a Toyota Tundra daily. It's ashame the government allow them to put out such a poor product. Jeep owners doing major repairs before 50k miles is HORRIBLE!!!! ALL THE SAME ISSUES!!!! NO RECALLS!!!! JUST MAKE THE OWNERS FOOT THE BILL.....SMH!!!!

You're not helping yourself by calling your Jeep a car.

Jeeps have a long way since 2018 (Jeep JL series)

Jeep Just Empty Every Pocket

Not a car...
