right hand drive cherokee
I was sitting in a parking lot the other day shoveling a few tons of food down my neck,and noticed a large percentage of the cars going by were cherokee's,from moldy oldies like mine,to newer grand cherokee's.From stock to raised,big tires,nice wheels,extra lighting,etc.I was surprised how many there were in my little one horse town
I was even more surprised when I noticed one of them was right hand drive.Not modified,just a stock old 4 door cherokee,looked to be around the same year as my pos.Even plainer steel wheels than mine,and tiny lil itty bitty tires.iirc my boner's manual says the base model came with 195/75/15's,or maybe it was 205's,but these were certainly that small
I dunno if the mail service used 4 door cherokee's,or if this was built for export to england or something.I just found it kinda interesting so I thought I'd share

Pretty sure it came from overseas as cherokees were not used as mail trucks. Only mail jeep ive seen looks more like a *****'s.

The pic in my Avatar shows 195 tyres,also rhd not a postie though.
Bigger tyres now, don't think I have seen a lhd xj here.
I'm a decent swim away so would settle for airmail.

Was it red? I saw a salvaged title xj for sale online a while back that had been wrecked and it looked like the owner did a swap to make it right hand drive.

Hell yeah it would!
I'd prolly do a front clip swap, too, and it'd have a black grille and headlight surround.
I have a soft spot for a 2g white with black nose XJ. And make it a 2door RHD?
Sick. Just sick.
