Let's hear your high milage testimonials
What are kilometerS? Anyways, in the 11 months I have owned my 06 Base, I have driven 40,000 MILES! It's been great. Hate racking up that many miles though. Already looking forward to an H2 diesel in my future!
2007 Lux - 176k
Very few problems. Replaced leaking radiator once. Another time, trans cooler in radiator busted and filed radiator full of hot water at 70mph so had to replace radiator. All was great until yesterday when truck stopped pulling. Suspect tranfer case. But overall, great truck for all the miles I've put on it.

update now i have 120,000 cel was on replaced themostat, engine coolant temp sensor,o2 sensor, MAF sensor, light stayed on found every bolt loose or out on the intake. also replaced both front wheel bearings, all the rotors and brakes one rear caliper, inner and outer tie rod, found two broken exhaust bolts i need to repair, transmission cooling lines rusted out, stereo quit working. All of this since the last update. This thing has never been off road just back and forth to work.
2007 H3 92,ooo on the odometer.
Blower motor Relay fire... Replaced all the wiring.
VERY rear manifold bolt broken... replaced and did a cat back Magnaflow system.
Some type of Transmission/Wiring issue going on, but Just read a piece Doc Olds put up in a response about battery terminal connectors. mine are factory (which could also be the reason for my Anti-Theft system killing my H3 "whenever").
Front door speakers going out, buzzing... TOTALLY MY FAULT.
Driver's door panel one day decided to reshape itself and doesn't hang correctly, pops off sometimes.
No shakes, or weird vibrations.
It has never burned oil, or leaked anything, it has never overheated, and only let me down twice, once for the fire, and once due to the anti-theft.
I'm debating keeping it. I really like it although I talk a GREAT deal of "smack" about it. It's a very cool, unique vehicle. I'm debating going full on custom with a 1975 Cherokee and passing the H3 to my daughter. The H3 would be a great vehicle to "build", and I'm starting to see that anything is going to have issues, and if I'm going to put money into a Cherokee build for myself, and fix this for my daughter...
Maybe I should find her another one to have, and keep mine...
I don't know, I like it, but I want more reliability and power... and something with a few custom touches... Who knows...

Update on my '07 Adventure. At 180K miles the transmission decided it had transmitted its last. Could have had something to do with pulling my neighbor's dead pickup about 12 miles or pulling stuck vans out of the mud - or not.
Anyway $3K later, new Jasper rebuilt tranny with 100K mile warranty. Too soon to tell how well that works out. Only second significant maintenance item since new - other was cracked exhaust manifold.
