It looks like a knockoff Comanche made in North Korea for military use.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

$8950. That’s eight thousand, nine hundred and fifty United States dollars. For a vehicle designed in the 1980s by the dynamic combination of Renault, the only French car company that hasn’t gone bankrupt or receive a bailout from the French government (a legion of old men and hookers), and AMC, which I firmly believe went bankrupt in 1974 and was kept alive so Spiro Agnew had something to do besides let the public know about the Richard Nixon’s affair with Billy Joel.

This . . . . thing was based on a soccer mommy mobile with the ass end lobbed off so they could add a pickup butt to it and a thin lining of Home Depot sheet metal pop -riveted to the cab section. One day, someone decided that “It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t- MMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOABBBBBBSSSSSSSSSS” was a valid excuse for lobbing the front end off of their truck and creating a replica of the WJ Cherokee front end, widely considered to one of Jeep’s worst creations and Jeep version of the Dodge Neon. This resulted in a half -assed fugly looking pile that is Ryan Lochte if he was a vehicle. And of course it’s on CL.

Also, it’s “TRAIL RATED BRO.”

That front end is a japaneese thing.

JDM, BRO!

It’s also “complite.”

You can almost hear it begging for us to kill it.

That’s the Chinese Jeep nose, the Beijing Auto Works (BAW) Knight S12 or now known as the BAW Qishi!

It’s essentially an old-school XJ that’s still built today using Nissan 4-cylinders.

Also, you do you have some anger issues involving jeeps?

Sorry I didn't read the ad before making the comment, but the JDM-yo tail lights were identical to the 1st gen Liberty. I was looking into getting something JDM when I fist got my 99 XJ back in 01, I was on thier website and even called them. They don't speak English so it was kind of a dead end.

Not anger issues, but I do like to scream into the void that is Oppo because I assume everyone skips my rambling and goes for the CL ad. I could write “I love satan” 20 times, and many people wouldn’t even notice. I also wanted to fuck with the XJ fanbois on here.

Good detective work. That thing is weird looking.

You’ll just get more attention from this one because it’s an XJ/MJ.

You’d think they’d have a translator, seeing as how the majority of XJs and XJ enthusiasts are in the US and speak English.

But most people on here hate hybrids.

I’m done now.

I’m actually okay with the nose, it looks unnatural at first but it’s growing on me. I imagine headlight range is improved (using US-spec bulbs) along with a small improvement in aerodynamics.

I have a coworker with an XJ with a knockoff version of this front end grafted on. I hate it, a lot.

BAW front clip, fresh paint, ‘97+ XJ inner door panels & outer mirrors, TJ Rubicon wheels, etc.

Looks like whoever built it took their time and gave a shit. Zero clue on what condition the mechanicals are in (or even what they even are), but assuming they’re OK, nine grand sounds fair.

I like the China XJ nose but there isn’t $9000 sitting there. JDM as Fu$K syndrome.

Chinese, not Japanese! It’s the front end of the XJ that stayed in production there after production ended here.
