Anyone have an 85 GW?

Does it have a 100 mph speedometer? Thanks

Yes, it went into my 75 when I put the doors and harness in.

My '84 only goes to 85. I was wondering what year they changed that.

Ive seen a 78 that has a 100mph gauge ? Are you saying they lowered the mph in later years or increased it ?

I wonder if it was a special edition that got the 100 mph gauge.
My 87 and the 89 i have driven have 85mph

Who remembers the national speed limit being 55?

When was it repealed?

All my cars have been old enough that the line for 55 was a different color.

The speedometer range depends on the year. In the 80's vehicles were taxed based on their max speed, which is oddly judged off the speedometer. Every 80's FSJ I have seen has an 85 limit. My '75 had a 120 speedo.

yep, it is 85mph on the 85

Thanks for the responses.

If my memory servers me right:

73-75 go to 120

76-78 go to 100

79-85 go to 85 however, I have had a few people report back that they have or had 85s with 100 mph speedo, including trucks. With that, I have learned something new...

86-91 I thought the were are all the same and go to 100. I haven't paid as much attention to these though.

63-72 I have seen 100 mph and also 110 mph but haven't really kept track which was which and in what year.

'85 J10 150 KM or approx. 90mph

I have a Canadian instrument in my '84 that goes to 160KM. It was NOS unit that I put in the Ugly Truck when I re-did the dash
