I'd imagine you'll also need the throttle cable as well.
guinness413 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 I'm out in japan right now, the only huge problem i see is trying to get a local to help me out in finding a junk yard to scrap the stuff off
JeepcoMJ Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I'm out in japan right now, the only huge problem i see is trying to get a local to help me out in finding a junk yard to scrap the stuff off oh. lol. you're best off having them chop the entire front half of the jeep off shipping it wherever you need.
Pete M Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I concur. :D Although my half-a-jeep isn't right hand drive.

Sir Sam Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 its too bad they didn't sell diesel XJs/MJs in Japan........you could have brought home a very nice swap. FYI your probably more likely to find a 97+ XJ front half cut.......and since you have to pull the dash and everything anyways, might as well upgrade it to a nicer interior.
Sir Sam Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 that just looks weird Says the man who uses the metric system. :nuts:
jtdesigns Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Hey now.... My seatbelts don't adjust.... Whats the deal.... What is that a XJ???
Sir Sam Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Hey now.... My seatbelts don't adjust.... Whats the deal.... What is that a XJ??? All 97+ XJs have those seat belts. And apparently at least 95+ export models.
jbhill Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 the dash in mine is out of a 96. get everythign you can or find an XJ over there and cut it in half like in petes pic.
Silver88 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I've only seen a few RHD XJ's. Jeep had a special order option for postal carriers. Not sure how you went about ordering one though.
