If you're worried about RPMs, put the transmission in 2 and run the Jeep up to 50, see what your RPMs are.
If you have a 3 speed, you're fine. I use 2nd gear on the highway to slow down.
If you have a 4 speed, you'll be closer to overspeed with 2nd gear, but I'd imagine you'd still be fine. First thing to check is that you can't manually disengage OD. If you can, do it first, before downshifting.

Ah, great info, thanks! I guess I'll have a run on it, and see how high it goes in 2nd. If I can manually disengage OD, should I just disable it, or would I have to disable it and then downshift to 2nd? Will just disabling it give me any engine braking?
