Default oil pressure high

My oil pressure gauges usually it at 1/4 at idle and 1/2 when accelerating. Now it is at 1/2 and 3/4 when accelerating. I beat the jeep up pretty bad last week offroading up here in n.w. wyoming. Put a big hole in a brand new General Grabber AT2. Seem to run a little rich and louder?? any help would be great. THanks. REdZ

That's usually a sign of a failing oil pressure sender. Borrow and screw in a mechanical gauge temporarily to be sure.
