2000 Postal Cherokee

[97CountryXJ]

This evening I was filling the tank and saw a white XJ pull up. Not a big deal, until the right door opened and boom, a steering wheel. First one that I've seen close up.

I talked to the guy that was driving it. He told me that his wife was a local rural postal carrier, they bought it brand new. It looked loaded, only plain option were the steel wheels. 2000 with 300,000 miles on it, little dirty, but in great shape. No rust, dents or missing parts. Real cool guy, said that it runs great with that many miles on it. He said it was kinda wierd driving it, once you get used to it, its ok. The only problem he seems to have is that when on a two lane road, he cant pass semi's. Didn't think of that one.
Either way, nice ride. I told him that if it ever came up for sale, I'd buy it just for the novelty of a RHD XJ. He knew what he had and very happy with it. Didn't seem to interested in parting with it.

[Wow]

That is pretty neat. Did they assemble those over here for export or are the RHD built in another country? My mail man used to drive an older XJ but he just had some kind of gawd awful steering wheel chain drive conversion on a regular XJ.

Weve got about 50 RHD XJ's and a couple 100 RHD TJ's!

I've seen this one woman driving a RHD TJ out in Winston quite a few times, but never any RHD XJ's. Although, there are a couple of different postal carrier's that rotate on the route through my parents neighborhood, and both drive XJ's. One's an older Renix model, and the other is some kind of cross between a pre 97, and a post 97....something like he (http://www.naxja.org/forum/member.php?u=5706) would do....:D (just messin with ya Collin)

Going to bring my RHD XJ to the Fall Fling again this year. It makes some people look twice when they think a driverless XJ is coming towards them on the trail.

My local carrier has a white RHD, which he bought a couple of years ago as a spare for his older green RHD. Now he uses the green one as his spare. Both post-97, but I don't know the years. His predecessor had an older style RHD XJ, and replaced it with the green one which he sold to his replacement, and has regretted ever since.

Mail delivery is pretty reliable out here.
