Default Top Speed Rubicon

I have a 2004 Rubi stock, and got 57 mph on black top. On a dirt road I can get 55 all most everytime.

I mean, what do you think the added speed with my 589's equaled out too when the speedo read 53?
I think those lead balloons took some top speed ability away, but the diameter difference works out to be about 4 mph on the speedometer. So 53 is closer to 57+.

How does the Rubicon 'lean out' at 55?

I don't know about the 2004 and older Rubicon's but my 05 would run 60 before I changed the tires.

"TheNadine", If you don't believe me come down to NC and bring $100.00 and I will show you then take your money if you want to bet.

01' Rubicon videoed at 63MPH down a slight hill on pavement in D-1. Speedo read 63MPH garmin GPSV reads 61.5MPH

Looking for proof? Send me a e-mail to Jthumper62@aol.com and I will reply back to you with a 5MB Mpeg video that i took while going 63MPH one handed on pavement. Its a tad shakey but gets the proof across with a crazy revved out sound of my Rubi.
