If you have the chrono package, please post a photo of your normal operating temperature.

I just have my gauge to go by, so it's really just an estimate. It looks like I'm somewhere around 215 -220. That's after installing a new fan. It seems high, but I'm not having any issues.

My 2006 JCW runs at 191 to 195. My 2007 base model runs at a steady 215. Both cars have a Scan Guage.

My temp gauge needle goes to the very same spot it has always gone to...and it stays there as long as there's a fire in the box.

PS: Ahoy 'Boats', ping jockey here. Fair winds and following seas to ya.
