my body has 203k on it and NO rust. dont worry about the body. replacing the rusted floor pans is half the fun of owning a jeep, as long as it doesnt look like my cj7 driver side floor pan your ok lol my mom steped thru it

 

haha that sucks, yeah no rust at all on it now, its been maintained very well

 

also the dash goes up to only 85MPH, is this normal for this year jeep? and will i be stuck in a turtle?

 

................... ..................your not serious are you?
what does the speedo have to do with a cars speed?
your xj will go well over 100 mph but y would you need to its a jeep

 

My XJ speedo says 85 MPH just like the rest of them. Topping out third gear, my GPS said 96 MPH. They'll probably do 110 MPH but you definitely don't want to be going that fast. When I had mine moving fast, it was "floating" and wasn't a very comforting feeling.

 

well sometimes on highway i reach speed of 90mph and i wanna make sure i can do that in the jeep

 

LOL...They are a Little Spookie up around 100mph HUH???

 

is your civic your Daily Driver? I'd keep the civic if its your only ride, I wish I had my econo car honda running so I can keep my jeep as my toy.

 

its pretty much my everyday car, i only drive it about 18 miles a day

 

Then I have to say keep the Honda. Jeeps were never intended to be speed demons. They are everyday utility and offroad vehicles. When you start mixing high speed with high center of gravity and you come up with a recipe for disaster. Especially in the corners or in a panic situation that requires a you to jerk the steering wheel. Be prepared to see the road , then the sky, the road, the sky, the road, you get the picture.

 

well the only time i go 90 is on the highway to pass someone or whatever. But will the jeep be at max rmp if i hit 90

 

no, but its still a brick with wheels room for error is small at high speeds

 

mm, how will it handle in the speed area of 65mph- 75mph

 

about 99.9% better then at 90

 

I've had the experience in handling my xj in the rain going 65-70 and then out of nowhere ended up facing the wrong way and being able to correct it and continue on. It was not a fun time and I felt how difficult it was to bring it back. 80-90mph wouldn't have had the same results.
