Going on a long summer road trip and was wondering if a 1999 4.0 TJ was OK to cruise at a 2500 RPM all day? That is about 70 MPH in my Jeep with 3.73 diffs on 31x10.5 tires. I was curious if 2500 RPM was too high for 8 hours of driving over 4 days?
8 hours over 4 days isn't much.I was curious if 2500 RPM was too high for 8 hours of driving over 4 days?
This is a matter of perception. I rode Harleys for over 30 years and put in numerous multiple thousand mile cross country trips, too many to even begin to try and count. Compared to that, the TJ is pure luxury. Good grief, it has a windshield, heater, A/C, massive storage, cruise control, spare tire, radio, top/doors (well they are available even if not used all the time), no requirement to wear a helmet, no bugs in the teeth, no need to worry about the horses in the the trailer ahead of you deciding to urinate,... What more could you ask for in a cross county vehicle?...Someone else said that the Wrangler is a perfectly good highway vehicle. Not really. I drove about 2000 highway miles in my TJ last month and it sucked. With speed limits of 75 and 80 mph and traffic moving at 85mph, it felt like I had exactly the wrong vehicle for that kind of driving...
