Angry Export Only?!?!

I'm not a new car guy but I think seriously about it for this.


Done up to look like a zebra, this “Cherokee”—known as the Liberty here in the U.S.—is a built-for-export 2011 model equipped with the 2.8-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder. This Cherokee is equipped with rock rails, skidplates, a compact refrigerator inside, and a roof rack complete with awning. Sporting a three-inch suspension lift, 32-inch tires, and an air locker in the rear differential, this truck shouldn’t have much trouble with rough terrain, but even if it does, at least you’ll have cold beer while help is on the way.
Export Only..

I love this!! Always been a fan of the safari look and this is perfect!!! Maybe this will inspire a build or two on an older xj too bad its only for export cuz im sure a lot of jeep enthusiasts in the US would pick one up in a heartbeat

I just happen to have a white cherokee, was thinking just that, I like the partial zebra stripes on it.
Not sure about the wheels though, I like steel reverse in say a 8 or 10" width.

You're right, the old style wheels dont go well with the new look but maybe some cragar soft 8's in white?!?!?

There are SO many vehicles that are Export Only, that Id like...and that seriously pisses me off. Because Id have to pay that much extra just to get it Re-Imported...

The Overland is a pretty amazing looking/performing Jeep.

i've got a white cherokee too and i've been planning my build for this summer. i was thinking about some sort of black graphics (likely including the letters "xj") like the overland.

my friend showed me the whole moab easter line. if anyone hasn't seen the whole line, you should check it out.

If it's the same 2.8 crd that's in mine, it's not that great. About 28 highway 24 normal.
