NorJeep Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 86 XLS MT 2.5L / ax5 / np207? / d30 / AMC 20hd / long Build date: not checked.. Current Location: Norway Status: been sleeping for about 23y. Time to wake her up from the beauty sleep and get her back on the (dirt) road. Notes: red interior, original roll bar, To be honest I haven't had the time do much more than picking her up. Still sitting on the trailer 😆 Have had some difficulty to decode the vin, so hoping for some help here. Great form btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Factory bed rails. damn. 86 is not gonna have a lot of info on the build sheets due to Chrysler not migrating the build sheets digitally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 so much good stuff!! if it's a 4spd it should be the AX-4. 5spd is the AX-5. @jdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorJeep Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 I realized that it's a bit hard to find information about the AMC models. But as far as the vin goes it should be a ax5, but the seller said it was 4 speed. Yes I have looked inside! But it wasn't on my mind checking 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 The VIN should be 1JTHL65J8GT181443 Body Model: JP62 Engine: 2.5 Trans: 5 Sp. Manual Drive: 4WD, Part Wheel Base: LWB Trim Level: XLS, Metric Ton My guess on build date is somewhere around 4/10 to 4/14/86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really appreciate it! What is extra compared to basic XLS? Sport bar and said rail's I suppose? Bumper gards? Or is this all extras in addition to XLS? And what actually came with the XLS trim?

(although I always make it a 23 and never the 16) XLS denotes top of the line interior trim mostly. fancy door cards, cloth buckets, maybe the better radio. stuff like that. should have most every interior option. rolllbar, graphics, and bed rails were separate boxes to check when ordering.

E for Export? Or Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Thanks for posting the VIN picture, E is for left hand drive Export, I stand corrected. Just noticed it's in Norway, there's an '87 in Norway with the "E" designation also. You can edit the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
