100 mph in a TJ; have you done it?

My 05 LJR is speed limited by the PCM. It stops going faster around 95 mph. So did earlier model PCMs allow higher speeds?
It's impossible to go 100mph in my 05 because of the PCM.

damn it boy!
Uh, no.
I did hit 80 mph once on the interstate where the speed limit is 70 mph. It felt great...as long as the road was smooth. Any road imperfections and all bets were off.
I have absolutely no desire to do so, but if I had a smooth road I believe I could reach 42 mpg...ERR, I MEAN 100 MPH!!!
(I sort of miss those threads) Lol
Disclaimer:
I am including a pic for (sort of) proof of my 80 mph...and to prove that I didn't do the math in my head, nor am I asking anybody to show me their math, proving how they achieved 100 mph.
And yes, it's in portrait mode.

About a week after I installed the 5.3, I took the jeep on a nice long stretch of highway up to 125 according to my GPS.
I went into the PCM and set the limiter to 85 as soon as I got back home. I've never felt closer to death than that day.

I've briefly been up to the low 80s in the Benz a time or two - although that car will go faster, blah, blah. The fastest I've ever driven in any vehicle was - wait for it - 88 MPH! In an '88 Ford Tempo on a back ag road. Unlike the Benz, the Tempo felt like it was going to shake apart!
As for the Jeep, I had it up to 75 once when I was calibrating the speedo, otherwise the fastest is 70, although I really don't like going that fast.

My brother bought a SRT-10 truck and got it up to 142 mph on the drive home. I just wondered why? Not a way I want to die.
The time: 1982
The place: small town Pennsylvania
The thing: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula
The driver: my idiot friend
The age: 16
The weed: some kind of nasty brown shit with mandatory exploding seeds
The speed from Burger King to the next light about 2 miles away: 135mph
The beer: probably Strohs but I was stoned so who can say for sure

Our poison of choice for our teenage years was Old Milwaukee....but for whatever reason, we would NEVER buy Old Milwaukee's Best...that was just nasty!! Lol
I got a ticket for doing 87 in mine, he bumped it down so it wasn't a super speeder. It was on a downhill, I was actually trying to see how fast it would go lol, just my luck there was a cop at the bottom of the hill.
I didn't figure out the top speed, but I did figure out that over 75mph the steering feel goes from okay to oh shit

I wonder if he bumped it down bc he didn't believe a TJ was getting close to triple digits?
TJ = Super Speeder?
That sounds funny. Lol
