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
Easy decision , Milwaukee's Best simply wasn't.
100 mph in a TJ; have you done it?

I hit the governor at about 95. With the 42RLE it bounces between 95 and 90. At that speed taking your foot off the gas feels like deploying a parachute. It was pretty flat ground though. Nice healthy 4.0 and a lightly loaded tj with a hardtop made it possible. Never tried it with the top removed or soft top.
I rarely want to get anywhere faster in a jeep. I drive it for the experience of driving it.
To me it would be like wanting a good concert to end.
On the “doing 100 it to be doing it” thought, no. 80 scares me plenty.

I drive mine at 100 mph all day long on the highway. I'm on 33's on my rubicon, only use a Fram oil filter, 36 hole injectors, a pcm that's so damn modified its now a zcm, Cold air intake with a turbo snorkel and get 42 MPG !!!!!
I wouldn’t feel safe going 50 in your old rig. You were wise to move on from that death machine.

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.

My Navy buddy, now a Master Chief, had a 2004-2005 red Hemi truck. You could bypass the governor by turning and holding the key to start.
He asked me try it while he blasted Avenge Sevenfold after I picked him up from the bar. IIRC the dash lights all shut off so you just had headlights.
We did around 155+ and my friend was pleased. We couldn’t believe that worked.
The 05 PCM abruptly kicked power off at 93 mph, so I used HPTuners to raise the speed limiter.
The boosted engine is happy to do 85-94mph with 35s on the highway. I drove those speeds for hours from AZ to CA, NV, and UT. The upgraded steering and suspension are up to the task so it handles well.
The Doors wrote a song for her...When the music's over, turn out the lights!
Yep that's the mix !
Need to throw in some STP to increase compression...
That’s one way to stop it.
