JLUR
My 19 JLUR has about 56.5k on it. It was a factory order that I picked up on January 12th of 2019. It has the 2.0 w/ eTorque and hasn't had a single hiccup. I kept it stock for the 1st 10k shakedown miles before it started growing.

I’m about to submit my order (couldn’t decide between white or sting grey) this pic made my decision! Lol.

Ok back on topic!
I do plan to daily mine. I’ve owned two cars before and the fuel savings would go into insurance, oil changes, tires, even gas since I was pumping for two vehicles. Eventually I’d like to get a Miata or old Tacoma Incase I break the jeep. But even then I still plan on driving the jeep 90% of the time.

Glad to be of some help with choosing a color. 😆

I just realized that I didn't fully answer this thread. My Jeep is my one and only vehicle nowadays. It serves as my daily driver, but I've also built it up for both crawling and being able to carry some speed through washboarded trails. The odometer is now at 59,988. I just changed its oil and filter, rotated tires, and greased all points. All good for another 5k.

Just curious to know how many JL owners are bumping up the mileage on their odometers. I have a 2020 (10/19 build) JLUR 3.6 and just clicked 38,000 miles. I’m sure many others have higher miles. I have been fortunate to have had no real issues so far. I’ve had regular tire rotations, replaced windshield, changed the diffs at 36k and change the oil at 5k. No other service.

Most miles are highway, several mild / moderate trails.
I'm at 58k on a 2018/3.6/manual. The only issue I've had was to replace some minor seals on the camshaft sensor or something like that. They took care of it quickly under warranty. It wasn't leaking but rather seeping oil and left a film on the valve cover. Never enough to drip. But it annoyed the hell out of me. They did a fair job of cleanup but I'm going to degrease it and detail it when the weather warms up. A clean engine helps you to find stuff like that.

I still am smitten with this engine/transmission. I'm looking forward to the next couple hundred thousand miles, God willing.

Turned 88,000 this week. It's a 2019 that I bought new on Valentines day three years ago. I'm retired so those are almost all fun miles. I just can't get enough of driving this thing :rock: I always take the long route to everywhere :like:

I could tell you, but then....
Had roughly 42,000 on my 2018 JL-R when I sold it in May 2021. That was after it sat for a year while I was assigned overseas and then 8 weeks of TDY in early 2021. Current Rubicon 4xe purchased 13 November 2021 has 6900. Both daily drivers as well as primary offroad.

We purchased my wife's JLUR in December. It had about 4600 miles on it. She's just passed 10k, so she's piling them on quickly. It is a 3.6/Etorque Auto and the darned thing gets 21mpg when I drive it.

53k on my 2018 daily driver. Now that my daily drive is less than 2 miles, they’ve really slowed down.
Had to replace the radiator right at 50k, but that’s all I’ve had problems with.

Purchased my 2018 JLUR with the 3.6 back in May of 2020 with about 3k miles. It is slightly under 20k miles now. It is a daily driver. My commute to work was minimal, approx 10min drive one way and now I work from home full time.
