Hey all... been lurking for awhile on this board... lots of great information. I thought i'd ask a question i cant seem to find any opinions about when searching.
I have a 2012 JKU with the 3.6 engine. As it approaches 90k miles... what's your opinion on rebuilding the engine or do you just replace items as they wear out? I've built it up to be our overland and adventure vehicle. We did the Rubicon July 2016 and that was a blast. Signed up for the Jamboree Moab trip coming up October 2017.
The reason for my question is i would hate to get stuck out in the middle of a trail with engine failure from a part that should have been replaced.
It seems to run fine with no noticeable noises or issues. I'm in Orange County California if you know of any reputable mechanics you'd trust working on your Jeep. I have limited mechanical skills and an engine rebuild is not on that list... lol
Sorry if this question has been discussed before. Thanks for any input.
