Yep don't forget that inspection. What's a red flag? No more life time warranty?

Not many posts with 10 years of ownership, yet, so I'll post my '08 with 9 years, 23 days, 11 hours, 35 minutes, of ownership. (Not that I am keeping track.)
138,619 miles.

We are a shrinking band of originals of the JK era. STAY THE COURSE!

I had my '88 XJ for 14 years, 185,000 miles. I intend to keep this JK longer than that.

Bought my '08 in '07 so, it's been ten years. Free lifetime warranty with it. I still have it and it's been a great Jeep. It also has changed our lives. Since buying this Jeep, I have quit my job, we sold the house and moved an hour from the Rubicon. Been here for about 5 years with no plans on leaving ! Even bought more Jeeps ! lol

Default TJ for 10

I drove my 2005 TJ for over 10 years. Just bought a 2015 JK, hope it is as reliable as my TJ.

After this next series of upgrades (Hemi 6.4L) I can't see ever selling her. Always nice to have something new but not in the cards!

I have no reason to get rid of it and I have a tendency to keep my vehicles for a long time. My other Jeep is a '61 Willys wagon so I'm going for older Jeeps, not newer ones !
