Default Greatest distance driven a JK

Title says it all. Nothing like having to drive a lifted JEEP with big tires on the interstate for HOURS, just nothing quite like it. What's the farthest you have driven your JK non-stop? (meaning stop to sleep, getting gas/food doesn't count as a stop) My personal best is from Daytona Beach to Atlanta, a little over 500 miles I think. Just wondering b/c I'm sure many have gone much farther.

August 2008 drive from Philadelphia to Orlando straight thru. Then drove straight thru on the return trip three days later. Approx 1000 miles each way.

My son and I shared the driving.

Had a blast.

To Colorado and back, 1400 miles each way. Ended up well over 3K miles in one week. Few years back I did a much longer trip in the TJ, about 5K miles in two weeks.

450 km to work once every 2 wks, not sure about that in miles anymore. It takes about 5.5 hrs. long enough for this guy, much better than with my TJ though. Gi
