Just came across this on craigslist. Is this legit? Ive never seen a RHD jeep before. Oh ya. Feel free to move this post to where is belongs. Im on mobile app sorry. The post says the pics are backwards but i dont see how just by sitting in the back seat to take a pic completely puts everytging on the opposide side of the pic. Idk maybe in retarted.

Some programs ppl use to upload pics from a camera to there comp flip them. I had it happen a few times with me. It's a normal left hand drive jeep. If you look at the pic of the back end and zoom in even the jeep emblem is backwards. Must have a screwed up camera or some crappy software.

There's a couple RHD jeeps the post office uses. It'd be cool to have one, just for the sake of having a RHD. Weird having to shift backwards, though..

I seen that done pictures being flipped. i was going to look at an old GMC 65 long bed. I called and asked if it was a RHD he said no. The name badge on the grill was backwards. look at the picture closer and you can see jeep backwards. In fact heres a funny trick google elgoog its a mirror site and leave it on someone screen.

RHD XJs do exhist!!!! That's just not one of them.

If my old phone wasn't fried, I'd put up the pic I had of a RHd XJ from the jamboree... was weird to see.

The only issue with building them is the things that are shifted, I seen one at a JY. All the steeing, steering box, PS pump, steering shaft, also the booster and MC are all on the right hand side of the engine bay, so the stuff normally there is on the other side. Parts are more expensive if its anything that different because its RHD.

Also I believe the steering and trac bar are flipped as well.

Still, it would be fun to see people taking a second look... might be a PITA going thru a drive-thru solo... lol

Thinking about it though... XJs aren't that big, I bet I could reach across to the other side without much hassle...
