Ok, I know, these aren't sports cars. But what do these KJ's top out at? I think before the lift I might have had mine to 100mph. Now that its lifted with bigger tires the fastest I've gone is like 80mph (on the GPS).

I believe it is electronically limited to 112.
An officer of the law once told me I was doing 95.

Since I had mine lifted with this wheel/tire combo, I haven't even tried to see how fast it would go lol. Maybe on a good day down hill with the wind at my back I could hit 100mph :SOMBRERO:

When I purchased the Liberty it was delivered to my house while I was away on business. During this business trip I was in a friends V8 Dodge Dakota when to our horror we found it was governed at 100mph. With in the first couple nights of returning home I took the Liberty out on the highway at about 3am to ring it out and make sure it wasn't going to cut off at 100mph like the V8 Dakota did. I was relieved to find it was not shutting me down at 100, I got it up just a hair over 110mph before deciding to slow it down and not press my luck.

Traveling across the country i did around 100mph on those long straight highways. Any bit of wind would send me all over the road. I was lifted at the time

Had ours at 80, seemed fast enough for being that high off the ground.

Coming an going from Cali to Tx I would fly on the straight aways around 95-100 but I don't think I ever went faster then 100mph.. Although I was at stock height etc so I'm sure being lifted changes that a bit.

Yes that is correct, 207kph. I now have a small lift and s-speed rated A/T tires so there is more rolling resistance. It will still run 117mph now though.

We've had our KJ up to 190 KMH according to the speedo needle.

Now just how accurate the speedo is, is another story!

Nice 1st post. Since trailer tires are R-rated, you put yourself and othes in danger by exceeding their rated limits.

But seriously what's R rated trailer tires. I know of B and C one other that I can't think of . It's on my friends dump trailer.
I have C's on my utility trailer, changed from the B's that came on it as a pop- up camper.
