Bradenton, FL to Troy, NC is a little over 660miles. However, I drove a Comanche, not an SJ, so it was possibly a little less stressful. Granted, the Comanche runs hot and I have to put the windows down and turn the heater on at times 
I wasn't the furthest though. Someone drove a rental car from Connecticut. I don't know his name on the forum, but that is a 700+ mile drive.

I am close to 1,200 miles from NC...that quite a trip for a FSJ. I drove my XJ 1,500 miles in feb. from Northern Utah...but that gets better gas mileage.

MC drove from the great frozen north of Minnesota. I am sure he will chime in with the number of miles.
I drove in from Jacksonville, Florida averaging between 6.5 and 7.5 miles per gallon...450 miles. Next year towing PsyOp.

I drove 900 in the XJ(from NEPA to Atlanta) then about 150ish miles north from Atlanta then the brakes went and I didn't make it, so I don't count...

Close to 90 miles, but the GPS said it was 66 miles as the crow flies. Got my same old, same old of 11.5 mpg.
Note to self: install a hasp & padlock on the beer fridge in case jeepguyp ever comes calling.
