Higher RPMs put additional stress and wear on your engine. If you need to hit the limiter then go for it but doing just because you can is goofy. "It can handle it" makes no sense. Your still stressing an engine for no good reason, would love to see a tire grab real good while your wheeling at high RPMs and see what your axles end up looking like. Don't worry, the 4.0 can handle it, lol. I do kind of miss those days of doing stupid stuff just because I could.

Not today, but over the last week or so
-New head unit with 7" screen also put in 7" screens in head rests (great for the kids
) Have the back screens wired to a switch to manually turn them on or off
-Front and rear reverse camera's w/ inferred night vision witch sucks (didnt think of it but they are mirrored and the front is.. yea, need to get a different one) This is also on a switch and automatically only shows on the front screen.
-Also put in a DIY switch to control the camera's. Put it where the little dish is between the shifter and ebrake. Controls the video input and supply's power to the camera's one at a time.
-Replaced the TPS sense it went out on me the last time i went wheeling, spitting and spuddering trying to get back home.

Changed the oil on my mom's WK, And figures the druggies at Quality Lube put the wrong oil filter on it. Then off topic wise changed the oil in my Ford Focus, and the druggies not only used the wrong filter but severely over tightened it and the drain plug. I needed to use the handle for my jack on the wrench to break the plug loose, end even then i was hanging ALL of my upper body weight on it. Ended up having to hammer a screwdriver through the filter to get that loose.
I am never taking any of my cars to an oil change shop again. NEVER.
