JK Problems
I have a 2008 JK Unlimited X. I have roughly 23,500 miles on it. It is stock except for a front bumper and winch. I use the Jeep as my daily driver to work, school, and the gym. I also use it offroad whenever I get a chance. Usually once a week. Nothing too serious. I normally get in some mud, a little bit of rock, and some fairly deep water.
I was doin a self check on it the other day and noticed a loose wheel bearing. I took it to the shop and they found that along with that, I needed new brakes, and my Dana 44 in the rear is about to fall apart.
Is this just bad luck or am I really that hard on my JK?

Nah it was just a little bad luck I have 40k of hard miles and hard off road. My only issue that wasnt my own doing 
was my rear locker not engaging. Just had it fixed a few weeks ago.

The amount of play I had was tremendous. I can't give you a physical measurement but it was not a good feeling to be able to move my tire as far as I could.
