I lie to you not!!!!! My convoy was northbound on the main highway through Iraq and we were passed by a silver KJ. Someone has a pic, I'll see if I can get a hold of it. |

It appeared to be black. They didn't have much footage of the outside of it. It had a brush guard on it too. Terry |

Your "RHD" and "LHD" is making my brain hurt, then I realized the map was showing what side of the ROAD you drive on, not what side of the vehicle: RHD usually implies the left side of road (i.e. great britain, aussies, india, etc) LHD usually implies the right side of the road I was thinking....crap, I thought I owned a LHD vehicle all this time That's right, I do!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_hand_drive#Terminology |

Interesting -- AAV is building the J8 (as a 2 or 4 Dr LHD or RHD) with a VM Motori 2,8L diesel in Egypt: http://www.aav.com.eg/Product_TJL-J8.html They also have an interesting selection of options for the LJ (called the TJL there obviously): http://www.aav.com.eg/moreTJLoptions.html As well as selling the current KK "Cherokee" with the 3,7L: http://www.aav.com.eg/Product_cherokee.html |
