I have a 98 TJ Sahara with 254K miles (at time of this writing) that my 17yo son currently uses as a daily driver. He has decided to keep it stock as possible and amazingly the thing drives great.

I also have a 2004 Rubicon that is my toy and I try to get it out on the trails 4-5 times per year. It's primary function is rock crawling and trail riding and it is trailered to and from the trails. Hawk pride in AL is my go to trail and I will hit it usually 3-4x per year. I also try to make it to hot springs, AR at least 3-4x a year. Anything additional is a bonus. I have wheeled at Windrock, Coppinger Cove, Tackett Creek, SMORR, Harlan, Moab, and Green Acres in Clayton OK. Green Acres is by far my favorite trail as far as wheeling goes, Moab wins for scenery.

Current bucket list is the Dusy-Ershim, so I am constantly trying to figure out how I can make that happen :) The Rubicon is also on my bucket list so I may try to do both of them in the same trip.
