Break-in Period
Hi all,
I am taking delivery on my new JK today. It is my first brand new car. I was curious to know if you all knew or had any thoughts about a break-in period for the engine (i.e. max mph or rpm for the first 500 or 1k miles).
Maybe the owner's manual has a suggestion??
Thanks in advance.

The manual tells you to nail it at times during the first 500 miles or so. It makes the engine breakin easier. 
I believe in the "drive it like you stole it" theory of breakin.
It's under warrenty.
I haven't had any problems getting huge miles on my vehicles.
