I think it's for postal workers or something. At least that's what RHD Wranglers were traditionally for.

Seems kinda pointless for normal people.

But maybe there are some wierdos that like to feel like they are driving an import all of the time?

Actually I'm pretty sure you could order it like any other option. I'd find RHD annoying if I wanted to say, pass somebody on the highway. Would be different though.

I was refering to the Jeep DJ-5, it was two wheel drive and right hand drive. Those were the postal worker ones. You can look on Wikipedia for more info on those.

I saw one at the Jeep dealer in West Covina, CA.
I couldn't figure out why they had it. The dealer told me that he had a few and this was the last one. Other than for postal service I have no idea why anyone would want one. To be different I guess.

Go for it! and if you get a ticket give the cop a dumb look as he goes up to the wrong window!! My girl saw a rhd JK that looked a lot like mine, she thought it was me until she saw someone on the wrong side.... But you may have trouble getting a snorkel...

actually we're being trained to approach on the right hand side, it's safety for one and catch people off guard.

It would sure be different driving one!

just my .02 but I dont think you will like the wow factor when you pull up to a ATM, drivethru, toll booth, or the drive up bank with no one in the jeep with you. Im sure there are more things to make this a PITA but ill leave it at those.
