And that is the only time it seems to happen too.

You know you drive a tj when you have to make tough decisions like; Do I sacrifice my bumper to mount my spare or my spare to keep my bumper. Decisions, decisions?????? Personal I'm going with the the spare. At least until I can upgrade my bumper and carry system. Besides, the spare can always double as a bumper

you know you drive a TJ when you have a perfectly good 4" Sky Jacker lift but you go out and by a Rough Country 6" LA just because and by the way the install has been easy and good so far

That's why you don't let them ride shotgun. Make them sit in the back.

It takes you 3 miles to get to 65 in a strong headwind.

I've had mine over 90. Going down a huge smooth hill around 2am. It had a 3" lift with stock rims/tires. Needless to say...never going to do that again...scary ****. But atleast I can say I've done it

Ive gotten mine upto 96-97 mph!!!

I once sped up to pass someone and felt uncomfortable and noticed that i was only doing 80.

That made me curious as to how fast i can go before i would deem it unsafe or too uncomfortable...suprisingly i almost topped it out and it still felt "ok". I ended up slowing down as i really dont need a ticket.
