I have enough trouble keeping at the 110km freeway speed limits in the JK, and anything over 80 the fuel consumption turns to shite anyway. I do have enough light both forward facing and off to the sides (have 45° spread LEDS on about a 20° angle so light up the sides well!)

Here here! Not really built for it, you know, cruising at speed. Probably the biggest set-back IMO about Wranglers.

Don't dis the brick aerodynamics!

In the JK I sit on ~100kph max even in the 110 zones. On my bike, however, lately I stick to 110. While it can do, conditions permitting, almost 300, it's just not worth the extra fuel cost. And any, (and it seems at times every), idiot can go fast in a straight line...
