Aardvark4x4 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hi, guys. Just thought i'd introduce myself. I'm in the UK, near London and i'm a big fan of the MJ. Unfortunately, the MJ was never imported to the UK by AMC or Chrysler and only a handful have found their way over here since. I would like to own a short bed with 4.0HO (were these made?) 4x4 and short bed but they are almost impossible to find and decent ones are megabucks. One day maybe I'll find one of these super rare Jeeps for myself, but in the meantime i'll have to just lurk on ComancheClub and gaze in envy at your trucks. I do have other Jeeps. The fleet at present comprises; 1991 XJ 4.0 HO Sport 2door (never sold here, this is an ex US airbase personnel car) 5 speed, lifted, lockers, 31s etc. used for offroad fun. 2004 KJ Cherokee 2.5CRD 5 speed (liberty to you guys) Pioneer. This is a van version of the Sport for the UK market. it has a flat rear floor, no rear seats and metal panels in place of the side windows, but still 4 doors opening. For work and general hauling. 2006 WH (WH to you) Grand Cherokee 3.0CRD Limited. For the mrs. Uses for work and for our time out. We're using the XJ for fundraising for Cancer Support. Look here for details. http://www.jeepclub.co.uk/features.cfm?id=26 http://www.mac4x4.co.uk/ http://www.justgiving.com/team50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefJosh Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Welcome! :cheers: Unfortunatly for you, the short bed 4.0 in not an uncommon combination here. Lucky for me, I found one for me. Sounds like you've got a great fleet going. It sure is cool to hear about all of the Jeepers there are scattered across the globe, so don't make yourself a stranger!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Want to trade the Liberty for one? I can arrange shipping through Uncle Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 actually my truck is exactly what you are looking for. Powertech-six 4.0L HO, SWB, 4x4, Auto, Eliminator. most common set up for this is the Eliminator in that combo only in 91s and 92s since the HO was only offered in those years in the MJs.

Aardvark4x4 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 We never had the 2.1 Renault engine in UK Jeeps. Imports only restarted in 1993, the MJ was never sold here, and when the diesel XJ went on sale in '95 it had the VM motori 2.5 Turbodiesel.

Pete M Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The 2.8L CRD in our 06 Libby is a sweet engine. I can only imagine the new 3.0Ls. More power! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
