Cheers,
The guy I bought some parts off, he was a hard core XJ guy, but then he sold it, and bought an earlier model.

It had the 4.2L engine, with carb, and a 5 speed manual, just a bit longer than my Cherokee, cant remember if 2 or 4 doors.

It wasnt the full size model that had a 360

Not sure what model Jeep had as a mid-sized 4wd around early 80s in Australia
