Its not accurate once you change the tire size, unless you have changed the speedo gear as well. I have 33s on stock gears. Doesnt bother me at all. The Jeep being fast is the least of my concern. Its not bad tough, drove many slower cars. I wouldnt wory about it if you dont want to regear, my transmission is fine so far.

Honestly don't drive in overdrive. Its hard on it. 70mph is just fine in third. Motor likes it much better.
