The first time I’ve seen this. I guess it’s a governor? 97 mph max speed calibration?

One never knows, now does one? Lol.
True.... coming off from a BMW sports, this thing is slow... but I've already set my expectation. Especially when I saw that 97 mph gorvernor....
I remember it was extremely hard for me to get to 100 on my LR3..... air stuck like glue on that beast... I'd expect the same on the JT.... BUT, I don't care.... excited about owning a truck and a jeep!!!! I'm a real American boy now!!! :handsinair::handsinair:

I think this is the 3rd thread on this..............anyway, per the build guide, all Rubicons get a 97 MPH limiter
More than that I think...maybe the 5th thread.

Admin should sticky this to the top of the page. "Max speed is determined by which tires your Gladiator gets from the factory."

You may be right...

Should be several items stickied for that matter

.... according to the order guide it doesn't matter which tires you are stuck with 97mph (JJ2) even though it's meant for the MT's only. Hopefully that will be corrected at some point

Anything that high off the ground will get squirrely at high speed. You can drive 100, I will mosey along at my own pace

Hey FOLKS where does it say, Governor??? That is it just a calibration data point for accuracy. Not sure why they pick 97 mph but they did whatever the thinking may be. I suspect on a new Corvette it may be more than 97 mph. This is all to ensure accuracy up to a point.

So when that fat-bellied chrome sunglasses wearing hick LEO pulls you over for doing 65 in a 50 you can call him a liar. Of course, he will just look at you and tell you well you can tell that to the judge I am taking you in for speeding and putting you in jail as a flight risk since you have an out of state drivers license and are traveling. Or you can pay the speeding fine now? How much is the speeding fine Officer? HOW MUCH YOU GOT BOY! $31.57 that is all I have. You are lucky son, that is the exact amount of the fine...

Yea, true story...

I haven’t seen 2 other threads, I just noticed it on the build sheet. Sorry if this thread is redundant. Did you post in the other threads?
