No Idea... found it on the Jeep 2500 thread on NAXJA and thought it showed off the 2500 quite well.

If anybody is really interested in giving this a shot i figured i would share what i had dug up a few months back stalking in the naxja forums. I take no credit for these sources or information as all I did was farm this stuff from the naxja posts. But i figured since sometimes searching takes a while there i would transfer the info here to share.

So here goes....

Apparently you can get whole 2500's shipped here with or without engines its just hard to find someone to recieve them for you IE dealer ect. $10,000 USD 2WD or $12,000USD 4WD.

Parts However, are stupid cheap and this is what it looks like for the front assembly

Headlights $26.35/ea
Fog Lights $6.52/ea
Bumper Corners F $4.33/ea
Bumper Corners R $3.69/ea
Front Bumper $8.53
Water Proof $32.05/set
Flairs F $6.87/ea
Flairs R $8.68/ea
Grill Insert $7.61
Grill Surround $26.24

I guess they havent caught on to dealerships raping customers for parts yet. lol.

The company the guy on naxja was dealing with was called Alex international with this contact info:

http://www.alexparts.com/

Phone: (852) 28334630 -> I know there are too many #'s but international calls are wierd like that

Email: Alexs@alexparts.com

or specifically a lady named jane was delt with by the guy on naxja

Email: "Jane Shi" alexparts2@gmail.com

Shipping to seatle was 230$ but it might be cheaper to the east coast because it can be sent via ground through europe and then by sea or air to JFK. I have had smaller things shipped from china and toolk about 2 weeks but it might be different with freight.

On top of the shipping there were a few random customs charges and things specific to how you had them delivered to the states, but the overall consensus was the more you ordered the better everything got and the faster it got to you. It seems like they combine all orders to the states and ship when they have a full container. Overall everything still comes out cheaper than OEM.

The original member from naxja that took care of this all mentioned he doesnt plan on doing this again but if anyone wanted to fire up a group by over here he might be willing to let you know what kind of paperwork he needed. BonesBrosChris is is tag.

... I took a quick look at the website and its a little hard to navigate but they do seem to have some interesting accesories as well, Light bars, land rover style hatch ladder, ect.

Thanks HyPr0gLo... Great info.

I do remember it taking awhile since they were waiting for the container to fill up before they shipped it over.

Id deffinitely be interested in ordering some stuff. I am just limited on time due to buying a house and my work network is highly monitored and filtered so communications to china all the time wouldn't be easy and could come across suspicious.

Here ya go guys from wikipedia



XJ in China

China Model 2500 Jeep Cherokee (XJ platform)American Motors established the first automobile manufacturing joint venture in the People's Republic of China to assemble the four-door Cherokee[9]. Production continued after Chrysler's buyout of AMC. Chrysler executives were concerned over licit and illicit technology transfers when knock-offs of the Cherokee began appearing in the Chinese market.[10] Production under Mercedes-Benz continued in the partnership that was renamed Beijing-Benz DaimlerChrysler Automotive. The most recent model with an updated grille, headlights, and other upgrades is known as the "Jeep 2500" that was produced through 2006.[11] It is notable that AMC's original Cherokee design continued to sell virtually unchanged after over twenty years.

Yeah I often wonder why car manufacturers discontinue tried and true designs that sell so well.. I often wonder where their business sense comes from....
