I was poking around in my nav and came across this screen.

Is that possible? Does the factory rev it that high for testing? Did the previous owner actually max out the speedometer?!

If others could check theirs that'd be great too.

I've done it before. Not smart but an empty stretch of highway and it hit 100mph rather easily.

Exactly what he said. Ive done it several times just to see if it could, and it looks as if the hoods about to fly off right into your windshield.

I've found myself cruising along at 100mph on open stretches - it was a lot easier when I had the 315's not so much with 37's but 95 is still doable

This, can cruise at 95 just fine. I have been able to hit 100 downhill with 4:10s and 37s

Just pretend it was recorded in kilometers rather than miles. You'll feel better.

So would 80 mph with detroits in the front of my tj be a bad idea? Lol. Couldn't imagine over a hundred in very many jeeps.

I've gotten mine up to 100 on several occasions. Definitely sketchy as shit. But "doable" for sure

100 mph in a Jeep? Sweet God almighty I hit 85 trying to not get killed by getting run over by a trucker the other day combing across I-80 in Wyoming in 50 mph crosswinds.
I am not afraid to say I shit my drawers. 100? FUCK THAT!
