Around 135k miles. It's cosmetically fair (but no rust or body damage) and mechanically good except for the front lower control arm bushings. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country (again) today. I bought it to go on trips, and that's primarily what it was used for. I'd guess that 90% of the miles I put on it are on highways and backcountry roads, often loaded up for camping and towing a motorcycle. It has been taken down plenty of forest service and dirt roads, but never rock crawling or on anything mildly technical. Before I bought it, it spent its life as a suburban mall crawler in Fort Lauderdale. No accidents while I owned it, and none before that that I'm aware of. I can PM the VIN if you want to run a check.

The good, bad, and [mostly] ugly, in no particular order:
- engine is good (4.4L V8), regular (~5000 miles) oil changes with synthetic oil
- doesn't leak or burn oil
- no electrical gremlins
- coolant level sensor is on the fritz; but it doesn't burn or leak coolant
- transmission shifts well, but command-shift mode isn't recognized so you can't manually select gears (wasn't an issue for me even when I lived in Colorado)
- t-case shifts fine, no funny noises
- 18" 10-spoke wheels
- includes IIDTool paired with the truck
- tires have lots of life left, slightly oversize Wrangler SilentArmor, no rubbing
- air suspension works well, no faults
- HDC, traction control, ABS, DSC, terrain response, etc. all works
- front wheel bearings are new
- brakes are good, some pad left
- air conditioning (front and rear) works
- front lower control arms need to be replaced (worn bushing), replacement OEM control arm assemblies included
- sunroof doesn't work (might be motor, might be switch, who knows?)
- gas door latch is fixed
- rear liftgate struts are new
- one of the mirror covers is cracked
- dash is cracked from the FL and TX sun (where the truck has spent almost all of its life)
- all seats are in pretty good condition, no tears

- spare tire winch is fixed
- all glass is good, lots of sunroofs
- hole in headliner where aftermarket flip-down DVD player used to be installed (cleanly-cut, maybe 2-3" in diameter)
- DVD navigation system, works well but maps are a decade old (updated map DVD runs $200)
- all stock audio system, works well, has bluetooth and voice recognition features (but no satellite radio)
- OEM thule roof rack crossbars, with keys
- keyfob is pretty shabby and the remote doesn't work (might be battery, might be the board, who knows?), but the key still works just fine
