I couldn't believe my eyes when I found this. I had to share this with the rest of you! China loves the '80 Cherokee so much that they actually still build it. Check it out...

That's awesome! I just heard about this recently. Wasn't sure if it was true.
Do you know if there are any differences between ours? Driveline, suspension, etc. Just wondering.

 

It's true but who really gives a s#it. It's made in China. Let them drive their own crap. I don't want to see any of them in my backyard but I'm glad they want to try to imitate them - it's kind of like them bowing to Jeepnation. There's an old expression, it states that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".

And yeah, it probably has some driveline and suspension similarities but I'm sure it pretty much stops at overall appearance.

 

Hahah I'll let em bow to the Jeepnation!

 

Ah-so *****-fuqah!

 

Other than the ugly ***** front end its pretty cool
I wonder if they have one with the 4.0

 

looks like it only comes with 4 cyc engines... pretty cool

 

To my knowledge they come with 4cyl turbo diesels, electrically locked d44s front and rear don't know abowt t-case or trans but this is all I've heard about them

 

where did you hear about the locked 44's?

 

OMG this "news" is years old. Google Jeep 2500.

 

A buddie of mine told me all I "know " about it a while back aned I don't know where he found the info

 

ya no kidding, if u search the forum u can find at least 1 thread on this

 

Maybe about 10 or so ... at least.

 

These have 4.0s. The Chinese have a factory that still produces the 4.0 motor today

 

if you actually clicked on the link instead of assuming... this is not a 'Jeep" its not a 2500 or a 2700 this is a Company who brought the Tooling and is making a copy of them with a different set of head lights and tail lights... and a totally new name...
