Approaching 200K with our 95 EB. Still looking and running great.
 






WOOHOO!!!! Mine turned 100,000 miles a few days ago!!! I took a few pics. Not very special but gotta take them.

Turning into 100,000...

100,000!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!

I gave it a well deserved wash and a small detailing job the day after.

Since then, I've logged over 400 miles since. If I remember correctly, it turned 100k last Thursday.

Here're the problems I have so far:

Blend door issue
New 4x4 shift motor
IAC valved replaced
CEL came on showing Insufficient flow to EGR. Autozone reset the light and never came back on

That's it!!! I'm very very satisfied with this rig and I will definitely keep it for a looooooong time!!
 






Just hit 100K on my trip to the beach :)

I'll see if I can get pics up, but I'm sure not if it took since it was quite dark, and I only had 200 ISO film in the camera without a flash...

Overall, I am very impressed. A few squeaks from the front, and it needs a tuneup, but she runs as good as the day she was bought.
 






135,250 and still going strong...

This post is HUGE! I recently turned 135,000 with (knock on wood) original engine and tranny.

My 1998 EB V8 has had several things fixed, but mostly just maintenance. I got it with 119,500 from the original owner who had taken good care of it.

Some of the things I had to do included:

Total fluid change
New Gabriel Shocks (rough riding but corner well)
New plugs and wires
AZ shackle lift (the butt was saggin' 1.5 inches!)
New hood struts
New front rotors and pads
New MOOG Lower ball joints &
Broke Power Antenna (fixed yesterday- $30 mast)

NEEDS:

New driver side door handle, seat lever, and radio display is out (go figure...)

I've actually done a lot in maintenance, but it sure is a good looking rig! I hate to get rid of it for a new one- especially since they are so &*(%*%*^$%%^ high!

TOBY in MO.

Dreamin' of Nitrous...or a bigger engine.
 






WOOHOO. I made it into the 100K mile club with this last trip to Maine from PA. Unfortunately, a bad time for me to lose my alternator, but it was fortunately only a 2hr delay in my trip.

Replaced my tranny around 70K (thankfully still under warranty), but other than that, I haven't had any major problems *knocks on wood*.

My X still seems pretty solid and is clean... I've been debating on whether or not to trade it in (esp. as it's been finicky about accepting EEC upgrades) but it's looking like I'll end up keeping it...

Oh yeah, the obligatory pic... though I wasn't in the best situation at 100K to snap a pic, so here's as close as I got. :p

199,6xx miles, original engine still runs great, tranny replaced at ~170k, just gotta fix the rust and a/c,
 






wow.. 99 sport with 109k.... and still running!
 






i myself am about to join the 200,000 mile club
 






I have almost 110,400 miles on my '92 Sport. I got her with 106,000 plus miles on it this June 3rd.

What kind of money has been spent in the 6 1/2 months I've had her?

1. Stereo Headunit - $200.00
2. New spark plugs - $12.00
3. New spark plug wires - $20.00
4. Expenses incurred by losing rear tire at 65 MPH on the way to offroading trip (New backing plate, brake drum, shoes, brake cylinder, towing charges & $405.00 labor) - $680.00
5. New battery - $60.00
6 New battery terminals - $8.00

Things that will wait until tax refund time:

1. New exhaust system (It has some small holes, but it's not imperative that I lay out the money for it yet)
2. Repairing damage to rear wheelwell and body damage from the accident involving rear tire and new paint job
3. Matching rims, since I have one different one since the accident (looking for a good price on used stock rims)
4: And if I have enough money after that, spacers, shackles and 31's :)
 






Better Late than never

111k on the speed-o
120k (ish) actual (due to the difference in tire size.


Problems:
Blend Door (partial warranty)
Cam Tensioner (warranty)
New tires/brakes/
center console lid torn
oil, gas, gas, oil, gas, gas, oil, gas, gas, gas, well you know.
