I find myself looking at 100 series these days as I want a V8 powered rig to act as a secondary tow rig, and possible replacement for the wife's Rubicon when the lack of quality begins to get to her. She is a dyed in the wool Toyota gal, so even with only 11,000 on the clock she has noticed that the Jeep is NOT a Toyota in build quality.
She used to say how ugly the hundy is next to our 80, but we parked next to an ARB outfitted 100 with suspension, tires and f&r bumpers done last week, and she said it looked great. My main query here is what sort of life can one expect out of the 4.7 V8? I have found a few in our area for $10k or less, which is great as I want to pay cash, but they are at or near 200k miles. Anyone here got that kind of mileage on theirs yet? What sort of issues are cropping up?
Thanks for any input.
