BMJ Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 8) I guess many of us have browsed thru and looked at the Beijing 2500 (cherokee clone) Still made overseas. :roll: I've joined some people @ naxja that are interested in getting some front ends . Order process is well underway and when the goods are actually in the states. I will move this to 'projects' and post my own project pics. :D In the mean time for those curious about such . Here's a link where u can get an idea. How it looks : http://go.jeepxj.info/RonsBeijingMJ.htm ( if it does not take u there ;might need to copy paste it...) Well maybe not better than that of a nice 2nd Gen xj front clip . But why not? :cheer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtdesigns Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I don't like the front end from overseas.. I mean it is different, but just not my taste.. I did love the old truck before it got smushed though. :cry: anyhooters,, fixed your link :D http://gojeep.willyshotrod.com/RonsBeijingMJ.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I read that thread and i like the way that front looks. if you don't mind could you pm me with an approx cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEThomas Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 How much is shipping going to run?? My wife works for a tire Co. that makes tires in China and she has told me how much it's costing to ship things in now :nuts: so I have not looked much at the front end.

LocoJeeper Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'd be up for doing that too... at some point. Keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMJ Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 :D Hey Thanks JT For getting that link straighten out It will be a while 30-40 days for it to actually get to the west coast :roll: But I don't have any hurries ... freight will get you to think about it twice.... :roll: ...If u do it on your own and only want to bring One set... Freight price is about Volume so If u are able to establish a decent amount of volume (not exactly a container full ) U get a decent shipping price.. Once I receive and check the items . I'll start the tread.... As it is stated : A Build tread is worthless w/o pix. :chillin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm with JTDesigns. Like the way it looked before he flipped it. Don't like the 2500 front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMJ Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm with JTDesigns. Like the way it looked before he flipped it. Don't like the 2500 front end. Yup :cheers: He had a pretty sweet rig at that , If you read thru the whole project. He actually replaced Everything from front end to Drive train to interior ; Even the complete dashboard from the 2nd gen XJ :eek: "quite a task" :D Guess He decided on the 2500 front end since He had already been there and done that with the newer xj front end ... :popcorn: U know a Jeep thing......... ( besides I guess He took note that it was actually cheaper ) :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yeah, Ron's a talented guy. He's got another rig in the works, a Grand Cherokee 4DR pickup with the 5.2 V8. Kind of looks like a Jeep Avalanche. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1awind Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 ya know what, id like to see a 97+ conversion done to a stock lwb with the door and dash conversion done too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartazz19 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 ya know what, id like to see a 97+ conversion done to a stock lwb with the door and dash conversion done too. I'm on it. :cheers: (seriously) Only thing i can't do is the dash. Ive having issues with mine being a 4-cyl manual and the donor XJ being a 6-cyl auto. And I'm not swapping motors I want to keep the 4 popper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMJ Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 :eek: Update..Well it seems that parts will be arriving by Memorial day wk end... :D Kinda tight schedule for me to set up frontclip before my trip to the Baja 500 (june 1st) but will give it a shot.. anyways with my luck :nuts: might be smart to better install After I return. I'll keep updating as soon as such stuff actually gets here. Later :chillin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I wish we could find a way to import and sell Beijing Jeep Super Cherokees, and REALLY thumb our noses at Chrysler. The Super Cherokee is what they SHOULD be selling, rather than the Libertine and the Patriot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james750 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I WANT TO GO TO CHINA AND SHIP ONE OF THOSE BACK HERE! i had no idea that any xj was still in production. I'm not really a fan of that front clip though. Is the 4.0 still in it, thats the part i really really car about. the news to me that the xj is still in production somewhere just made my day, and gave me faint hopes of one day having a brand new xj. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysler sold the rights to the design to another company after they ended production on the XJ in 2001. The said company is Bei Qi Autos (Beijing Autoworks); and is known for it's relationship with Chrysler and gets to produce an ‘offshoot’ carbon copy of the original vehicle. They've also done it to the 99-04 Grand Cherokee's. They are doing the same thing with the JK now. Here's a pic of the "Beijing JK".

james750 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 It looks like it is a combo new, old, and different xj. I saw it had old size and shape rear hatch and taillights. If I had my old xj still i would get one of the taillight sets seen here look up JEEP-2500-BODY PARTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
