Default Thermostat upgrade

Well, changed out my thermostat. My temp seemed low, 160~180 after the engine was warm.
Went out to Autozone and bought a 195 degree thermo. They had a few options.
195, 192, 185, 180, but got the 195. Pulled the one that is out in the Jeep and it is a 180 degree thermo. Can tell that someone had replaced it before.


So did this person think that he was "helping" the engine with a cooler stat? What temp stat stock do these come with?
