yeah, that I know about and is documented, think the guts of an XJ has been transplanted, but unsure what bits from what years. Interior is 93-96 XJ, front end appears to be post 97, brakes are post 97, unsure of the engine (looks like a HO??) a complete bitsa

ohh yeah, so a complete front graft below the screen, not ideal structually

Have some more photos, looks like an XJ bulkhead has been welded into an MJ, would need a good look at it to see how good the work was, but looking at the welding I don't think I will bother

yes, and it will cause issues on the insurance front if it is converted from LHD to RHD over here. Seller is adament that it is factory RHD for the Japanese market, as I said, BS.

Thanks, thought it would be a US truck, asked for pictures of the bulkhead, not put me off, just it will affect its value.

VIN is 1JTH56416HT144874 what does this tell me?

Okay, so a RHD MJ has popped up on ebay in the UK, I am interested however the seller is stating that its a factory RHD that was supplied to the Japanese market then imported to the UK, I smell BS. I am right in thinking that there was never a factory RHD MJ? I know early UK XJs were actually built LHD and converted to RHD by a company here in the UK before the US factory produced genuine RHD XJs, I am wondering if this MJ got the same treatment. I have requested the VIN to see if I can figure out what it is. It is a bit too far just to wander over to see if it has a RHD XJ front cab section welded onto an MJ LOL

I am fitting the front seats and both axles & steering from an old WJ to my MJ. Plan to chop the mounts from the rear 44 & truss it. Not the strongest axle I know but they were free, plus are 3.91 gears & varilocs, cheap way to disks all round & better brakes & steering setup. Mine is going no higher than 3" so the low pinion front axle won't be much of an issue

Dear me, the MJ has been stuck in a container for 11 months with no work! :( Start a new job next week with a decent pay raise, a mate is out of work at the moment so come the end of the month I am going to pay him to work on the jeep. Question is what are my spring options for the rear, wanting to be able to load up the back without it sagging too much. Looking at a 3" front & 4" rear lift without a load in the back.

Another Euro MJ :) Wish I had a garage to get the front end of my MJ in

Not been here for a while, good to see your photos. What are you doing electrics wise? I was planning on transplaning the XJ loom onto mine then custom wiring the rear end loom. Also how are you running the v8 ecu wise? I have just scored a 4.6 stroker for my build, still looking out for an XJ donor though

ahh, doing all the same stuff then. must make sure you are a few steps ahead of me at all times them :D

:bowdown:

have you got a photo of the bare RHD bulkhead? Need to decide how to do mine. You donor was a mk 1 wasn't it? I am planning to get a mk2 to break, best start practicing my welding!

wow, alot chopped out! Is the bulkhead that different? would it not be easier to plate the original bulkhead and cut new holes?
