How cool would it be to have 96 with super low miles from Japan and right hand drive to boot. It's on Ebay

What's cool about wrong hand drive? If you ask me, they're dangerous.

We have them all over... Rural postal contractors get them. They love them. Lots of room for mail, handles like a dream on not so good rural roads, and the heaters are warm. And they are hoot to drive.

There are a few of them on Ebay, go look at how clean they are and low miles from Japan.

I saw one with a wheel on the right side via a belt drive to the left. Having both sides would be cool for rock crawling.

Seems a little awkward how the lever for the 4WD is on the opposite side of the gearshift from the driver, but other than that it seems pretty cool.

Actually, my "other" jeep is a 1969 Kaiser DJ postal jeep. My left leg is FUBAR'd and getting out of the right side is a heck of a lot easier for me.

Real easy to get used to driving, even on the "wrong" side of the road....

Statistics say less accidents with left hand drive and using the left lane to drive in.
