2012 JKUR, Call of Duty MW3 #1627/3500. 60,000 miles.
Here's feedback on common issues:
HEADS: original, no issues. Build date 03/2012, so I may have been after the OEM correction.
OIL BURN: none
CASTING SAND IN BLOCK: yes. I had to have my heater core and radiator replaced at 26k miles, done under warranty. No issues since the original fix.
POWER MIRROR RECALL: I have not yet had this addressed. I drilled 1/8" relief holes in the bottom of the mirror mounts when I got the vehicle, so it has not accumulated/held water.
AEV BUMPER CORROSION ISSUE: yes, but I've not taken it in. I dremelled the seam, fluid filmed it from the back, RTV gasket sealed it from the top, then rattle canned
Original brake pads are still on front and rear (6 spd manual trans, so that might help with brake wear).
Original ball joints even with running 315/70/17 and 1.5" spacers.

Ha! Didn't read them all but I have 125,000 miles on my '07. Not burning oil but I have been running Royal Purple in her since new.
Had a window motor fail, evaporator error (easy fix) and valve covers replaced.

2012 JKUR Purchased in May 2012 91,000 miles. 3.5 AEV Dual Sport lift
71,000 on my BF Goodrich KM2
Left head replaced at 41,000
Front Stock Driveshaft replaced at 78,000
2 trips to Moab and a few to Windrock in Tennessee. I am very happy with my Jeep the only time it ever let me down was I lost my serpentine belt on a trail ride a couple of weeks ago

Currently at 211,000+ on my 2007 Unlimited X, with 4.10 rear option. I commute 120 miles a day.
I purchased certified used with 46,000 miles in 2009 with lifetime warranty.
~80,000 - front right ball joint
~125,000 - threw engine code for catalytic converters. This is about there life span and expected, just d$%m expensive.
~150,000 - noticed oil leak around bell housing
~169,000 - temp guage went past half way and and still had oil leak
~179,000 - WARRANTY - dealer identified and replaced timing chain cover for oil leak, also replaced timing chain and water pump. Overheat was a result of warped cylinder head. Replaced with 2 new cylinder heads, new valve train, 2 new exhaust manifolds. No cost to me besides deductible.
Now at 211,000 miles and runs like new. No leaks, no smoke, still on original clutch.
