I'm impressed for the same reason. Thanks for putting your life at risk to prove that point to us. Please don't do it again.

Hah you think you can hit 120 in a Jeep?!

You know what would happen if you did right? Think Large Hardon Collider.... The universe would end.

If you guys are impressed he took his hand off the steering wheel of a Jeep to take a pic...

100mph in a Wrangler would scare me, but have had mine up to 80 or so on I-80 going to Colorado and it was very stable, much more so than my TJ ever was on the same trip.

It really isn't as scary as people think. I've been over 100 in it, really just to try it. However I wouldn't have taken my hand off to take the pic Like the OP said, it is very smooth and tracks very nice. You would hardly notice.

If you are scared at 70, don't move to FL, all highways here are 70 and everyone moves at 80

Not scared at 70, just don't want to eat the fuel. I wouldn't go up much higher than that due to the stress. I have 5.13s and like to keep them happy.

I will say that the JK even at average highway speeds feels much more stable than my TJ.

"Impressed" is most certainly not the word I was thinking of.
