I'm just not having these acceleration/lack of power issues. I cruise fine at 65-75 and its not that hard to accelerate to those speeds either.

I think someone should start a poll to find out setups for people who have these issues.

181 I have personally seen bone stock TJ's and YJ's hammer the a**es of other built rigs. The majority of it is the driver, if you don't know what the hell you are doing your vehicle looks like a turd.

Yup, and everybody whining for a V8 won't accept that IF they offered one, it would only be rated at 13 city/17 highway.

It is a brick, and a hell of a lot of fun. I look forward to driving it every day. I would like to have a bit more power but out does not take anything away from the fact out is the most awesome vehicle on the earth to drive. Since I started taking it out on trail rides and going to some orv parks, I can over look what it lacks in hp without a problem. In my opinion there is no one vehicle out there that can compare to the lifestyle or the fun my brick on wheels has to offer.
