RHD Jeep TJ Wrangler Sahara 4.0L - UK

Quick movie I made showing my RHD Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4.0L with manual transmission which was built in 1998 although it was first registered in 2000.

Tried to highlight a few bits that I think might be different from US Jeeps due to the steering being on the "wrong" side as we drive on the left hand side of the road.

The Jeep is stock apart from the wheels/tyres, stainless side steps and mirrors, stereo & speakers, coild air induction kit and Borla exhaust.

It's covered in salt in this video as I've done about 150 miles since I bought it last week, so the first job after filming was to get it washed!

(sorry for the dark shakey video, I forgot to turn the cameras stabiliser on and I was shooting this around sunset).

Are rhd cars like lhd cars? Is the first and second gear leaning towards the left or is the 1,2 switched with the 5?

@frankfarter1994 1st and 2nd lean towards the left just like LHD. I'm not sure but I think the windscreen wipers might lift in the opposite direction though so that the rain is thrown towards the middle of the road instead of the sidewalk. (as over here we drive on the other side of the road, hence having RHD).

i always wondered this with right hand drive manuals: is the clutch on the left like on left hand drive vehicles?

[HardRockCamaro]

@tozir14 The pedals are laid out the same, the clutch on the left brake in the middle, throttle on the right. A lot of things get moved about in the engine bay to make room for the steering shaft, so often the brake master cylinder and battery etc get changed over from side to the other. Then the lights are different (headlights dip down the opposite direction, the turn signals on the rear are amber, plus we have to have a rear bright red foglight). A pain as RHD parts cost more than LHD...
