Yep it's the only vehicle I have. It's a 2015 that just turned a year old with about 11k miles. It helps that my "commute" is less than 10 miles

Everyday and most errands that I have to run are done in my 04 TJ, before that it was my 91XJ on 33s. I hate driving boring vehicles my wife told me the other day to get a more fuel effciant vehicle and get rid of the TJ I told her no and that was that lol

My JK is my daily commuter. I just started a new job that has me putting 80+ miles a day on it and it's killing me putting that many miles on the odometer. But it is a Jeep and it is meant to be driven.

I DD knuckles. It's only a 15 min commute (7miles) so not a whole lot of wear and tear on him.

I swap between my 09 2 door and my 08 Silverado 1500. My commute is about 50km/day, round trip to the office. Double that if I have any "quick" running to do, like for groceries/etc. Normal commute is all highway though, so not bad.

When we have hard winter/real bad weather I take the truck. It's set up for those conditions (I've run her when the Mercury has been below -40C many times). The wheelbase, Duratracs, and all the creature comforts (power everything, cruise, etc) make for a killer DD package. Was my sole DD for 4 years.

The Jeep is my current main. No creature comforts, but running with the top down is great. Gets better fuel mileage too (average 13-14L/100km vs the current 16-18L/100km in the truck, due to a vacuum leak).

When one is down, the other steps in. 50/50 DD responsibility.

Mine gets driven daily to work as well as its normally the vehicle we take on trips since it doesnt really matter how the weather turns out we know we will still get home. It would be nice to have a commuter tho and not have to put all the miles on the jeep. Maybe someday, but it would still be hard forcing myself to not drive the jeep every day haha

Well, Cindy and I work from home but we still have over 150,000 miles on Moby, over 80,000 miles on Rubicat, over 10,000 miles on Renny and this is to say nothing about the 45,000 miles we had on Nemo when we sold it or any of our other Jeeps :crazyeyes:

Purchased my 2016 JKU in Jan. Already have 5300 miles. I commute 110 miles round trip. Decided it was time to get rid of my 98 XJ and double my gas mileage for this commute when I got this job.
