The auto actually has a higher top gear than the 6 speed, so I'd say no, it's not in the gearbox.

I cruise at 55 though where traffic permits, mostly because TJ's are pretty unstable at speed and my tyres are as old as the car (no cracks or anything- but I don't trust them 100%).

Do you have instrumentation? That's always the biggest one.

From that list of mods, the only thing I'm planning is the injector swap (to 12 hole). I like the idea of the Banks turbo kit though.

The skid plates sit higher than the axles so they're in turbulent airflow which is why smoothing them won't help. Nor will smoothing the fuel tank transition. Unless you can somehow control the airflow from the axles anything more than an airdam/ tyre deflectors is a waste of time.

I've only got 18K miles on my TJ
