Not to mention the "warnings" you feel when you crest 80mph... All of my Jeeps have started to feel like barely contained chaos at that point.
I haven't really made any sustained driving that fast. The only time I've hit that high, I was trying to get around a road rager that took offence that he and I were driving at the same speed and I was "In his way"

I almost want to scroll back through oodles beyond oodles of media to find to video....:giggle:
lol, I wish I had thought to video that, but I was trying out the back seat of a 2 Door JL when I saw them start to move. Couldn't get out in time to get close enough to video.

Mornin Jeeple! The CG with the Hellcat motor (Trackhawk) isnt meant to go offroad. There is one at my local stealership with a $90k window sticker. Seems like a huge waste of money to me.
OWO! That is crazy!

I usually cruise at 78-79, depending on traffic. 80+ starts feeling weird for some reason.

I drive the interstate most days and I average 75 mph...I agree it seems like you’re playing with fire when you get up to 80

The folks over in the tech section still don't comprehend the difference in tire load ranges and how they affect ride quality. Not enough coffee in my system for this crap.

lol, well it is a brick still. A slightly more aerodynamic brick than the old one, but still a brick.

I like how Jumper feels right now, its all balanced. I'm worried about the 30 to 50hp drop when we move to CO. I hope I'm just over thinking. Maybe in a few years when its paid off I'll buy a Ripp JL supercharger :devil:
So, what’s the verdict on CO? Is it a done deal?

As far as air pressure, or the tire itself?

Still 20 or so days until we go. Going to try and get a place rented in the week we will be there. Going to call ahead to a few properties I see online that I like before hand to get things rolling with BG checks and the like.

I'm still breaking Wrikki in, so I keep her topped at 70 for now. 72 is about the highest I set on the Interstate no matter what vehicle I'm in. I still get passed like the brakes are on.

It’s ridiculous...nothing good comes from going that high rate of speed on the interstate.
