Be Careful for what you ask. With as much over seas parts that go on our rigs now days it is just a matter of time. Most of the items you listed sound more of like a routine maintenance type of thing where replacements will come sooner than latter. With the exception of the worn out rear and syncro but again the roads are going to have a play in that. Have you checked your hood latches yet. I could rough terrain taking its toll on those.

All vehicles including jeeps (and pretty much anything we buy this days) are made to last 3 to 5 years... That's it.

Yeah, I had a similar experience on a trail a while back in which I went up a steep, washed out and heavily-rutted sandy hill in my bone stock 2-door Sport that all the other guys said I wouldn't be able to make without lockers. One guy who was watching was convinced I had lockers & I had to let him look over the rig for him to be satisfied that I didn't, & then told him my secret; the Electronic Brake-Lock Differential (BLD) that all JK's come standard with. Only downside is that the rear brakes wear out pretty fast if you use the BLD a lot.

Never had an issue with my 2007. No issues with the 2011 so far.
