No disrespect intended, but for what reason would you drive a TJ 80mph, or even 90mph as I have read several have on different threads??????

Do you drive less than the speed limit? I usually set the cruise at 5 to 10 over.
No I don’t normally drive under the posted speed limit. Nor do I normally drive my TJ on the freeway where the speed limit is 70, unless it’s the only option getting to my destination.
Because of low traffic density, wide open spaces and local speed limits, in many places out west 80+ is standard highway speed. For me, going much slower than traffic is not relaxing. Recently, in another thread, I mentioned taking my TJ over 90. I joked it was “for science” but I actually had a question I wanted to answer other than “how fast will it go?”: That was related to drive shaft speeds. I’m currently geared at 4.11 but plan 5.13 ASAP. My normal max speed in the TJ is about 75 (and we probably agree that routinely going faster isn’t really desirable). However, to get my driveshaft speeds to what they will spin at with 5.13 gears and 75MPH, I needed to hit 93.6 MPH with the 4.11 gears. The test was a success. I was able to exceed the necessary velocity in a safe environment and no driveshaft or other vibes were noted. So I expect the new gears won’t create that issue, at least.No disrespect intended, but for what reason would you drive a TJ 80mph, or even 90mph as I have read several have on different threads??????
was about to say same thing. Game changers!Ear buds- man they will save the day.
I drove to Riverside in July and recently returned to Tucson while running no windows on the soft top and trail doors.
Later in life, I’ll cherish these times even more than I currently enjoy them.
IM in nanaimo and would love to join!
Thanks to All for your feedbackWe’ll for certain post something once we’ve got our plans more solidified

• 400 km / 250 miles has been my longest in our LJ with cruise control , but I could see myself adding another 160 km/100 miles per day
• 90 km/h - 55-60 mph is max for traveling on pavement with a JEEP , just my opinion
