This is the highest I have a picture of. I've bounced it off the dash more than it's fair share. And after the engine swap I pegged the Autometer at 120 a couple of times.

i think everyone has missed the point. Bobbed bed/flat-bed as in no factory bed not flattening the speedo or whatever u are calling it.

i knew what you ment, but i had this picture and thought it would be a good joke, havent seen any flatbed rangers around here, my speed picture was staged by the way, had the r.r. tire and brake drum off to check something and got the idea to stage a pegged-out speedometer shot, no way would i be trying to take a picture while going that fast. oh, and it was 5th gear. with wind resistance it tops out at about 90. the handling is awful at that speed, compact 4x4's were never ment to be driven that fast. stopping from 60 is enough of a challenge as well.

I think Zack has the most to worry about... 95 mph, 2500 rpm, and oil pressure in the LOW end of the scale?

Lol, just slipped it into neutral, and the stock oil pressure and water temp gauges were disconnected when I added the mechanic ones. No worries.
