Police packages

[Lenard]

Just curious, on the police package XJ's, what was different on them other than the speedo went to 120 mph, and they had a High Idle switch?

Why did those speedo's go to 120?

Bragging rights! I don't know about you, but I never felt safe over 85mph in my Cherokee. Plus it didn't have the power to push the brick through the air. They also had 10 inch drums out back to help you stop from that unobtainable speed.

Ive got my MJ up over 100... 3.07s and 31s FTW!

[landlubber]

i got mine just past 85, scary as all hell.

topped my XJ put at 97 (the limiter) and i never did it again :smart:

My XJ feels safe and stable all the way up to 110.

 

Haven't gone above that though.

:hmm: Were you going down hill with a tail wind?

All MJs up to 91 had 10 inch drums in the rear.

 

I had my 2.5 up to 90 the day I bought it.

With the 3.07s, my MJ doesnt start pulling in fifth until around 85... Done worse I guess, got the ole Dak up over the speedo too, and it goes to 125, found out later I had a shot pitman arm

Twernt a Jeep, but in 1960's was in a 64 GTO doing over 120, maybe 130 for about 10 miles. Slowed to 70 when we came to a bridge over the bay entrance at North Bend, Oregon that is tall enough in the center for almost all ships to pass under without lowering anything. Right front tire (bias ply) blew into a gazillion pieces. :eek: NEVER wanted to go that fast again!

Had the cherokee governing at 140 kmh (85?) so about 95 with my tires added in Recently spliced a switch into a wire going out from my transfercase speed reader, no more speedo when I hit the switch but goodbye governor! :banana:
