    Mitsubishi made these at least until 1998.

    Makes me a little sick to the stomach to hear Mitsubishi and Jeep in the same breadth...

    No. The steering wheel is in fact on the "euro-side".

    I always got a good laugh when people would 'modify' the tailgate sticker of their Mitsubishi pickup by removing a couple of letters.

    Resulting in: Mitsubishi

    Its interesting to see how far rearward the "kick" in the bodyside is as compared to a Willys CJ. It almost where the door opening starts to curve upward.

    I believe that worldwide more flatfender "jeeps" were made under license then we're built in Toledo.

    I would like one - its not the top of my list but I would definitely wheel one. I like the diesel aspect, but worry the 4cyl doesn't move it around very well.

    Chris... I guess that your middle names are Willys Overland? I seem to remember an orange CJ2a stretch build.
