    Default JDM jeep cherokee?

    ok so i'm on the way home from work and the dude in front of my is driving this RHD jeep cherokee. now i know jeep makes the mail trucks and they are RHD but this was'nt a mail truck. it was a late 80's-early 90's doo doo brown cherokee. i've talked to some other people and we can't think of any explanation for this. does anybody have any idea what this is about? do they even have cherokee's in japan????

    oh yeah i know this thread is worthless with out pics but i was in the work truck and had no camera with me.

    It is an old mail truck. Rural route carriers could order them from Jeep RHD. Thats all.

    yeah, theres a shitload of those now a days... i dont see a point in driving a RHD vehicle in a right hand street and having to do crazy hard RHD passes, and overtaking.... unless its a skyline GTR

    Alternatively, Jeep does export their vehicles to Japan. I'm not sure if they're RHD or not, but if they are, then this Jeep really could have been JDM.

    Yeah you post an interesting question. I don't know if a Jeep made for the Japanese market would be considered JDM or JFM, F being for Foreign. :confused:

    What about this question. If our mailman jeeps are RHD, are japans LHD's? If so, are they buying our Mailman jeeps because they come in LHD?

    The same. But when I went to pay or pick the food up I would nor: 1- look like I was trying to escape a burning car. 2- Confuse the cashier. 3- Jab my hip, stomach or side on the e-brake. 4- all of the above.
