Ya, but forgot my video camera in 1996. If ya want to start a pissing match about it, do a lil research first. Apparently, your Jeep can't do it, or the driver can't. Doesn't mean nobody else can, or all Cherokees are built the same. Ppl can, and all Cherokees are different. Am I going to get in my XJ now, with 31's and a 4.5" lift with no sway bars, and drive like that again? Probably not. With age comes wisdom. And I really hope you know the V6 was a joke. Maybe you didn't.

Lol i've done plenty of research. And i'm sorry if you didnt know, but all jeeps were made basically the same from factory.. And i'd say the driver dont make a damn when your going 80 unless you're going sideways.. I guess you just know how to hit the gas pedal better than me?

Apparently I do. Hmmm... So why do some ppl have d35's and some ppl have 44's or 8.25's?? Your argument is invalid.

Lol your just trying to cover your *** because i called you out on your bull****. But ok, i'll bite. How is your jeep so different and apparently more MASSIVELY powerful than all the others produced? Please explain. I'd love to hear it.

Lol you didn't call any bs. Newb. Like I said before, I don't know why I don't have a governor
Here is what I do know: 4.0H.O, header, exhaust, ax-15 and 3.07 gears. That's it. Nothing more. I'll tell you what, if I remember, I'll take a vid for you with the speedo passing 85. Sound good?

I must agree. I'd bet my Jeep that you can't chirp tires shifting into 3rd at 80mph in any OEM 4.0 Jeep Cherokee ever manufactured. In 4 hi, right.

What different does the rear axle make?

That makes no sense. Of course it'll go faster than 85. I want to see you chirp tires shifting into 3rd gear at 80mph in 4hi.

No one said anything about a governor besides you and the OP. A 4cylinder jeep will go faster than 85, yours isnt special. And a governor at 85 wouldnt stop you from chirping at 80 right??? Or am i missing something?

Omg you people are geniuses. Learn to read. Never chirped in 4hi. That was newb making guesses. Rearend doesn't mean ish, other than all jeeps aren't created equal.

That wasnt me making guesses. Thats what you said. Then you changed your mind about it. And they only made a like a million jeeps a piece with each of those axles.. your right, im so wrong And once again, what the hell does the axle have to do with chirping tires at 80?

Haha never changed my mind. Launch in 4, shift to 2. Your argument is dumb, trying to be a Internet cool guy, it's good not mad at ya! Either way, my speedo will go to M, and on stock tires I chirp in 3rd. Spin in second, no traction in first. Launch in 4 hi, you will chirp, then you take the eff off. Good times.

(Most police agencies had put taller tires on them however making them no longer certified, or as stable.)

Ive been 100+ in mine on the lake but have built it for that. No lift, tubular control arms, 235/65/16 wheels, Monroe shocks (Police/Tow option). Handles like its on rails. I do many miles a month on logging roads for my job. It makes the drive into the "sites" fun. Oh yes- disk brake mods all around as I didn't like the original stopping distances.

Just finished some engine mods including Pacesetter header, (modified to miss the front u-joint) oversized cat and Rusty's exhaust system. Im excited to take it back to the dry lake this spring and see if I can hit 120. ( I doubt it but will be fun to try)

Im lusting after a GM 6.2 LS swap right now.

Just don't agree with the "blanket" statement.




Handles like its on rails. hahaha I love it. Compared to what?

No argument, I just want to see you chirping the tires going into 4th at 80. And my 4 banger can bring the speedo around to M, no one ever said it wont go over 85, still dont know where your getting that from.
