I looked on the pillar, and the month of manufacture is totally obliterated.


If the build plate is still intact under the hood,
you can get the manufacture date off that...

Just above the word TRANS, you see two letters, slash, two letters. This is the build date in code.

A=zero B=one C=two, etc etc ... just remember that A=zero when you are counting. This example is AJ/IH = 09/87

Need a Spot
I looked for this today, but couldn't find one. Would it be under the heat shielding on the hood itself or somewhere in the engine compartment?

Thank you!

Tom

Maybe the 86 is in a different spot, but look on the firewall, to the left of the wiper motor ...

Not that I am aware of. They have the white sticker on the door post - that's it. I have two diesel 1986 Troopers, a 94 Trooper, a 97 Trooper and a 98 Trooper. I use to own a 95 Trooper, a 1987 Trooper and a two other 1986 Troopers. They all had the build plates except the 4 1986s. The non-86s had the plate (not sure on the 87) but the 86s did not have the black build plate in the engine compartment. If they have one somehere else, I don't know about it.
