I am sure anyone who has been around MJ's longer than me would know. But when looking at the sales brochure for the phone option, you don't see that in the pics. Perhaps an aftermarket option that was made when the XJ came out. If we had better pics we could figure it out. My best guess as ghetdjc said is a phone keypad. Another odd guess could be a calculator. But it looks like it was designed to be in that spot.

I think I have a rear set of NOS floor mats in that interior color.

Lol these are bad.

AMC: Here is the American alphabet France use it. Renault: *insert French insult about America here. Shame that didn't reveal anything.

You can always separate the two and rivet both on the rad support. Is it aluminum in color? I say do it. It might unravel what this truck is.

This is one of those deals where I wish I could see this truck in person.

Info is the thrill of the addiction with these trucks. Here's something for all the members stuck at home to do.

This is a very intriguing and very awesome to hunt info down on. Too bad we can't consult Chrysler on this.

I don't think we can really run old 7 digit VINs like that either. I think it is an import/possible prototype that Renault goofed with and then retired it back to the U.S. This is a good mystery.

As far as we know, it could be.

Do we have any record of the Stroh MJ's?

It is the oddest thing we probably have seen.

Maybe it was a race truck and it didn't need a VIN.

Second plate translates to National Renault Factories. Not that that helps.

Go check the VIN post. Some really unique plates under the hood.

Maybe a Renault prototype for from AMC for Renault to toy with? But I will be damned for none of us have probably ever seen that.

Hmmmm maybe its a very unique MJ that was stumbled upon. We(members who work at dealers or have Chrysler access) have no way of running that VIN. The least amount of digits we can do is the last eight.

Does this VIN show up on the firewall plate or anywhere? 1JTHL6518HT003073 I think it is this VIN.

I......I can't even. I am not sure where to begin. It is only 7 so I can't run it. If I run it as a JT it comes up as an XJ. Buuuuuuutttttt… if I run it as an HT I get this which is unique as I have never seen a special paint code come up *X1 -H9 APA MONOTONE PAINT PACKAGE CBA BENCH SEAT - STRAIGHT BK CGX Head Restraints-Outboard Seating, RR DDQ Transmission - 5-Speed Manual EPD ENGINE - 2.5L I4 TBI GAS GSC MIRROR - RIGHT BLACK HCC HEATER W/UPR LEVEL VENTIL - TYPE II JJA CIGAR LIGHTER - FRT COMP LAP FUEL ECONOMY SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT LMA HALOGEN HEADLAMPS MBJ Bumper - Front, Black MD8 Delete Front License Plate Bracket NAA ESA W/CATALYST (EXC CALIF SYSTEM) P99 UNRELEASED PAINT IN A SPECIAL SITUATION PE4 QE4 RAC RADIO - AM/MTR TBG SPARE TIRE - COMPACT Maybe this one. Build date 8/21/86 Body code JL62-but I think this makes it a long bed. Is there a firewall or rad support VIN plate under the hood anywhere? Do you have the registration on hand to help verify it?

Lol no. Not going the power window route. I actually like the manual windows, easy to use and take care of. Or just use a cordless drill if you want power windows.

Alright she is all back together with operational power locks!

Minuit. What you said has been duly noted, unfortunately I fear I may have to go back and do some more in the future. But I lack time and a second vehicle, I am willing to bet that the door weatherstrips failed. But I will do a water down to see any leaks before reassembly today. Surprisingly though the frame is really clean, not sure how long that will last but over time I will make sure to reseal everything. Before during after Door locks are finished and work as they should.

How many Marchals do you have stock piled away??! But very 80's!

Who knew that adding power locks meant drying out the insulation from the hurricane like rain(on the passenger side) to removing cancer on the drivers side floor. Damn these trucks rot from the inside out. So shame to say that Little Red became susceptible to rust and floor replacement, even west coast trucks are not immune. Ill post pics tomorrow as my dad and I just finished the floor today. Finally replaced the 30 year old weather strip which clearly needed to be done badly. Power locks will be wired in with relays as per recommendation. Insulation/sound deadener is being added to help with AC and vibrations/sound. Honestly, my heart sank a little when we started the patch repair, I knew Pete always said check under and the first time I did, it only looked like surface rust until this go around some decent sized holes showed up. But shes got some patches in and should last another 30 years. Passenger side has only minimal rust thank goodness.
