Was talking to the wife the other day about the 80 and thinking I have had it a long time. I bought mine in fall of 03, how long and how many miles have you driven yours.

My current one I've only had for 2 years, but I had another that I sold last year that I bought in 2000. Had that one for 15 years and 230K miles (bought it with 110K)

I've had mine for a little over a year, maybe close to a year and a half. I've put about 20k on it so far. Coming up on front-end-rebuild'o'clock.

May 1, 2010. Took me a year and a half to wear out the 315 Wranglers so I could go to 37s. Have put 95,000 miles on it so far.
About 2.5 years. That's actually pretty long for me--I tend to buy and sell vehicles with the same frequency most people upgrade their cell phones. I have bought and sold 2 daily drivers since I bought the 80. 
Pretty happy with the current combo (LX450 and chevy volt). Will probably hang on to both until the chevy blows up.

Maybe not the thread for this; however, this made me reflect why I bought an 80. Who I should thank for inspiring me. @sleeoffroad is totally to blame. No plans at this time to jump to a three didget land cruiser.
Across the 4 daily driven 80's I have had one for 8 years now. Thanks Christo! It has been a very fun ride so far.

Not quite a year, only but about 7k miles on it too I need to get my act together.
Mine has been in my family since it was new. I am the fourth driver of it, but I've been in the car since I was little. I've got about 235,000 on it. I drove about 70,000 of it.
