My old sheriffs jeep has a column shift and I though I
would share with the forum


Heres the column shift



And where it should be



Any thoughts from any one?

 

Probably just a mod for that vehicle to allow more room for things like the police radio and other needed equipment. I am sure there are some guys on here with police mod XJ's that can chime in. But I am sure with the the floor shifter in place it did not make much room for what was needed.

 

I just thought it was kinda cool.

 

thats awesome! it would be nice to have all that room to be able to build your own center console. or bet it would be easy to use the regular console, run the heat piping for the back seat, and add cup holders to where the shifter would be

 

that's awesome.

 

Just what I was thinking. Maybe even try to mount an 99-01 console with the exsiting cup holders and mod the shifter area for storage.

 

I think the MJ trucks were column shift.

 

I had an 89 MJ with a bench seat, column shift. T case lever was still on the floor and had a bezel just like yours.

 

They're a pretty rare option on XJ's and the fact that you've got one matched with the fact that you have a NP242 and a factory tire carrier makes your jeep pretty rare. If I were you id hold onto it. Ive only seen one other XJ with a collum shift, never a 97+ though.

 

I never knew it was offered. But does make sense for the police model.

 

nice cup holders. are you thirsty

 

Yeah, that's an option on the police packages. I have the police package, and have a floor shift (and have the window sticker to prove it lol), and from what I've read, the floor shift was standard, column being an option.

 

Are you talking about my cb mount with no cb?

 

i have a colum shifter too

 

Does that speedo go to 115?
I don't think I've ever seen a XJ like that.
