Fawk that, use dimes.
Best dollar eighty I ever spent. :shhh:I checked at work (a mopar parts dealer) and after checking all of the catalogs (both online & the books) the was no evidence of these ever being availlable. Not satisfied with that we called Corprate, and was told that these parts are not D.O.T. approved, and could not be sold in the U.S.A. Meaning that a mopar dealership would never even be able to recieve the parts.
Your only bet on finding these parts in the states would be to find an after market parts company that makes parts worldwide that would cover that vehicle, and bribe them into letting you have those parts. Or watch ebay
My two cents

Agreed. It's just a question of whether the intended outcome is hamburger or rolling around on the floor for several agonising hours before actually dying. Either way, I can see an upside to it!

I stand firm, DC has a 50% share in the company. But they aren't producing the parts. The 2500 is a combination of first/second gen parts, and parts made specifically for the 2500. The parts that are first/second gen are from molds that DC sold to Beijing Jeep. You can't get "Mopar" Beijing Jeep parts because they don't exist.

Heres the 2500 homepage It uses a 2.4L mitsu 4G64S4M engine, or a 2.5L engine and a 5 speed manual trans.
a bunch of pics from their website:

I own one and I live in the US. My wife backed into a gate and smashed one of the rear tail-lights. I called the dealer to order a light and the parts guy said he had no clue what I was talking about, so I brought it in and several of the guys looked it over and asked if it was a custom job. To make a long story short I had to order 2 older XJ tail-lights, cause you CAN'T order just one.

Use the Google translate tool it works alot better now
EDIT: I still couldn't find the "PARTS" section. But if you can buy parts in china, then they will definitely take American currency for there parts

Bovine,
what state did you get your Jeep 2500 registered in? I would be really interested to know as it sets an important precedent. My right hand drive 2001 was made in Toledo, Ohio and when it left the factory had 99% of its parts common to the LHD XJs coming off the same production line.
The NHTSA do not consider US made RHD Cherokees similar to the federally approved LHD XJ and as a result they cannot be kept permanently in the US or registered in any state. If you've managed to get license plates for a Jeep 2500 that wasn't even made in the USA, I reckon I stand a chance of challenging the NHTSA to allow mine to stay.
How many years have you had it in the US? Would you be prepared to send me a photo of it with it's US license plates taken in a location that is undeniably in the US (street signs, landmark). If successfully challenged, it could even open up legal imports of LHD European diesel XJ's.

Close. There were Federally-approved RHD Cherokees that were sold in the US market - typically, they were special-order vehicles generally going for postal delivery. Wranglers were also available RHD, and seem to have been popular for parking enforcement.
What determines whether or not a vehicle built in the US is Federally-approved comes almost entirely down to how the manufacturer designates it at the time of manufacture. If it's a US model, it gets tags saying so; otherwise the countries it is approved for are shown and it's sent for export. Obviously there are equipment differences in export vehicles that may make them unable to be sold in the US, but LHD vs. RHD isn't one of them. In fact, as far as I'm aware, there's no legal requirement stating that the vehicle must be LHD to be sold in the US or registered in any state.
If you can demonstrate that the vehicle meets the safety, lighting, and emissions requirements for your model year it should be doable in theory. Having said that, you may still run into issues at a State level - I once owned a 1985 Citroen CX that had been fully-Federalised and registered in California from new. However, it had been out of the DMV's computer for six years when I bought it - and despite having all of the old registrations to prove that the vehicle was OK to be here, I still received an export-or-destroy order from the DMV. Ended up selling it out of State since fighting it would've been way too expensive.
Not necessarily - it may have come over on a change of address waiver. I know that they do exist, but have no idea how to get them.
