Project: Bass Akwards '95 RHD XJ
Newest toy, just picked it up this weekend.
'95 RHD imported from Japan 4.0/AW4/NP242 D35 with factory posi & ABS 3" lift (kinda, rear susp is Frankensteined) Starting point https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...1edcc97b62.jpg Condition of the trade, i kept my wheels/tires and Trucklites from the YJ. First step was pulling the ridiculous RC stinger bumper. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...6243af66c7.jpg Just been going through it, seeing what im dealing with. TC linkage is gitchy, so following a good suggestion ive got the Boostwerks kit on its way, along with a new bumper and OE style shackles so i can swap in the 3" leafs that came with it. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...68b7fd4d10.jpg Theyre Rough ****ry, bluh, but theyll do for now. Im sure ill end up swapping in an 8.25 like i did on the gold one, at which point itll get ProComp springs. All in all pretty cool rig, looking forward to getting her out in the dirt where she belongs. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...c54bfeaf1a.jpg |
cool jeep. how about some interior pictures. was it hard getting it from Japan? I used to import tractors from Japan but the US customs made it financially nuts.

No rust whatsoever. All the power acc still work. Seats, windows, mirrors, even the power antenna works like it should. Original hatch struts still work. All in all, pretty surprised by the old girl. |
RHD Caution
So , I got me a right hand drive,that I am working on...Seemed like a cool thing, and it is....but when you look for replacement parts..it can get tricky,
An instrument cluster on a right hand ,is only interchangeable with a right hand cluster, climate controls also are not interchangeable..... Thats only what I have discovered so far... So be carefull..finding replacement parts for a RHD...is not as easy as a LHD.. Other than that...its a cool vehicle to have,,, IMHO .. |
Lol, oh yeah, a lot of parts are RHD specific.
Most of the steering parts 90% of the dash Most of the engine brackets/accessories Some of the wiring harnesses Seats The AC hoses are unobtanium Etc etc Fun times! |
Bumper is finally on, winch back in. Making progress!

Some more random stuff.
"unreaded onry" :rofl:https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...bd4b91a9a3.jpg Controls are upside down and backwards, lol. I guess the just flipped the bezel and relabelled it? https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...2915ef31c1.jpg Cubby hole is still on the same side. Only that puts it behind the spare tire. Real handy. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...cb4fce01f4.jpg Could be wrong, but i dont remember my '92 having "AMC" marked lenses. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...a6c4213ff8.jpg Im guessing this bracket is for a dead-pedal? Also noticable is the lack of "nut cooler" underdash AC vent. Sad. That was one of my favorite things about the early XJs. Get out after a long hot day in the shop, have a vent that points right at the ol jewels. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...b787d6c9ad.jpg |
Still looking forward to those measurements. Lol :rockon: |
Ah ****. Lol, sorry brother, completely ****ing forgot to do that.

pretty cool man... so far the postal service vehicles in my area is all i see for RHD
