JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

How fast have you had your jeep???

I love how this is being updated at 100+mph.

I had my sport up to 90 on the speedo. Im running 33's on 3.21 gears with a six speed and it was adjusted for 29's so probably somewhere close to 100.

I've done about 80 but coming back from Colorado I let my girlfriend drive and I took a nap... Woke up to some heavy shaking and saw she was doing 90 or so! I made her pull over

I have hit 100 to 100+ a few times. Both times I was in Atlanta traffic, moving slightly faster than the traffic flow. (People drive crazy and fast in Atlanta) Once I was stock topless and doorless and the other time I was on 35s with my current set-up topless and doorless.


Oh, and like others have stated, I hit 145ish on my VROD. I still had plenty left, but that was fast enough for me. Anytime I go real fast, the idea of getting arrested and impounded scare me way more than the safety issues!

75 has been my max... 70 is the speed limit on the highway right by my house... I have had plenty of fast vehicles in my life (GTO, r1, gsxr, etc.) and maxed all those out. Seems pretty pointless in the jeep though. I guess I just turned into an old married man somewhere along the way!

Same here. I'm never in a hurry, and if I was, a Jeep is not something I want to drive fast.

Default I think 80

80 or so not real sure, I was watching my fuel gauge go down faster than the speedo went up....35's killed this thing...but it looks good.
