conker Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I think I hit 105 on the highway in my chief once. rode smoother than 65 i think. A couple weeks later i found out my track bar was completely trashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando87mj Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Most I've done on a empty stretch of highway , ride wasn't as bad but the wind noise was crazy Tires are 235-75-r15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rymanrph Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 After I completed the '97 conversion (automatic) I was still on 31s and 3.55 gears I was able to hit 90. It kept downshifting looking for more, but that's all it would do. I regularly drive on our belt loop and the speed limit is 70, so I drive 75 on a regular basis, but that's with the 4.56 gears and the 33s. The JK cruises a lot better at those speeds.

Bobolink Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I usually drive 85 or so most of the 670 miles between my house and the kids' in Albuquerque. West TX speed limits on the I10 are 80. I'm sure the GemTop shell (steel) helps to keep the rear end down, and yes, I've checked the calibration with the mile markers on the interstate...mile in 42 seconds. Doing around 2800 RPM and that speed with stock tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COMJNUT Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I got a ticket with 93mph... my friend had the gps running when we topped out at 112...it was stupid. :shake: :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepman Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 My top was a few Years ago before my new axles and Stroker Engine heading to NJ I hit 170KPH with 31's and 3:73 gears and smooth as can be oh and My speedometers are always calibrated to within 2KPH (GPS-ed as well) so that somewhere around 106MPH I think... I haven't tried with the New Engine on 35's yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th3m4nm4rcu5 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Pegged out the gauge, had to be doing 85+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcomanche Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I once made a wrong turn while driving near Baltimore and ended up on a 75mph road. With 36 tires and 5.13 gears all built on a fairly odd setup, it was one of the more terrifying experiences of my life. It was all shakes at that speed and very close to redline. Needless to say, I got off that road very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtrux Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 10mph in the school parking lot across the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Mine hit 92 mph riding on my gooseneck along with the WK headed to Moab a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Mine only went 65mph on my trailer. But I was towing it with a Cummins so I probably got better fuel economy than if I had been driving the MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4.whoa Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I passed an unmarked cop so fast one night it took him about 5 seconds to hit the lights ( back in my youth ) 1st thing he said was "I was doing 85! " :doh: Thank god he was pretty cool though... In my chally, I've only wrapped out 4th gear so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I went 70 once. I normally keep it at 65 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikekaz1 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 And I'm sure all these interstate speed readings were taken on calibrated speedometers. :rotfl2: Huh? What's that? my old p71 has a calibrated speedo :yes: ive had that at 140mph before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moore89Comanche Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 My Comanche has 33 in. Goodyear Duratracs and a 4.5 in Rough Country lift, things get dicey at 70. The speedometer isn't calibrated so it pegs at 85 when i'm going roughly 70. Wouldn't dare take it much faster then 70, steering gets loose, the rpms are up near 3000, the rear is so light that it gets squirrelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex06 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Lol, well this answered a lot of my questions. The poor old tired motor won't hold speed in 5th on an overpass....always have to downshift but I've been up to 65 a time or two on the backside of the bridge. 209k on the clock and she may just need a rebuild.
