For those of you who haven't seen this, it's pretty cool. Decode your VIN, all the way back to 1981.

forgot about that one; thanks!

 

All I get is "This VIN does not appear to be valid" when I enter my VIN.

 

Was your vehicle originally built for Europe? Are you using 1 and not I?

 

Crusier54, all are Renix 88-90 and all built in Toledo, Ohio.
The XJs maybe was built for Europe but all MJs that came to Sweden ( about 240 all together 88-89 ) was imported from USA.

 

My VIN is not valid either. European. The third letter is in fact a number in my VIN.

 

Hi all - new XJ owner here (bought mine Saturday). New to Jeeps and 4WD as well.

What does this mean?


2000 Jeep Cherokee Police 4dr Police 4WD

 

Grats! Over the years, the police package included things like:

- rubber floor instead of carpet
- column shifts
- extended idle switch
- heavy duty shocks
- auxilliary transmission cooler

You can ask Chrysler for details on what your XJ actually came with by requesting the factory build sheet. Here is the link for the US: http://www.jeep.com/wccsapp/universa...ull&category=U

 

The first # is the country code. 1 is USA, 2 is Canada etc.

 

Well I have a 2000 Freedom. When I enter my VIN it comes up as a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Police 4dr Police 4WD. Doesn't seem to match my XJ at all. Wrong tires and wheels etc.

 

Will that call in a drone strike?

 

Geez, I'm sorry I posted up the link.

 

I DO appreciate it.. I tried 4 times. I tried using Upper case for the letters..nothing worked....

 

It worked for me but not much info

 

Pretty much useless to me....tried 3 times for my XJ and my MJ...nada..just told me motor and gasoline...imagine that....oh and offered me a CARFAX.....thanks for the link tho.
