For whatever reason, finances, boredom, leases, mechanical, how long are you planning to keep your JL Wrangler?
Also, what is the reason behind your decision?

Just like the MOPAR warranty, 8 years and probably won't get to 60K, so it'll go to one of my grandkids. Then Robotaxis or Waymo.

Until it's dead and no longer worth resurrecting, or if my life situation changes and it's no longer worth having a Jeep.

(Yes, that's possible. I may live on a sailing yacht and wander around.)

One of the only good things about getting older is you don't worry about how long things will last as much.....they may outlast you.

My original goal was to use as a daily for 8 years then keep as a fun summer car. But the reliability of jeeps has me questioning if its worth keeping past that 8 year mark or not.

I put "until it blows up". Of course I said that about my last one and then it burned to the ground so it kind of did "blow up" (the airbag exploded and shot off some cool sparks so that part at least blew up). Hopefully this will last longer than that one did (5 years). I'm hoping it will last for a very long time.

I put 5-10 but the extended warranty and the financing were 7 years when I bought it in '22, so anything after 2029 is a bonus.

I don't know. Tonight, tomorrow, next week, a year, 30 years from now, never. I have no plans to get rid of it, but who f'n knows. Life throws curveballs and sometimes I get a wild hair and do something I didn't plan to do. That is how I ended up with the Jeep in the first place.

Life hack: Don't give into the temptation of new car smell, keep your vehicles as long as they are somewhat reliable and don't become a money pit.
Also don't compound the issue by putting lots of money to mod your jeep because you will not recoup the costs of them on a potential trade in.
