Default Cherokee interior noises and body flex question

Hello friends, I´m an old jeeper trying to came to jeep thigs again, my old J was a CJ7, really original and nice with a 2" lift. Here in Venezuela (South America) is hard to see a jeep like on the USA, i mean in good conditions...

I´m planing buying a 1999-2000 Ck, my questions are:

Do the body flex a little while off roading?

The cherokkes have a little or much interior noises?, ex. door panels vibrating, etc


Thnaks in advance, plan on buying here:

Thnanks in advance

i have noticed the 97-01 xj's are much quieter inside compared to the earlier models. namely the hatch and hatch panels rattled around after a few years. but unibodies do have flex, but they are also much more rigid than body on frame vehicles

Long Version:
My dad complained about how "squeaky" my XJ was when i got it and it bugged him to even sit in it for short trips, although i barely noticed the squeaks. Late this summer, i was rhino-lining the bumpers and finishing up a radiator install when he decided to walk around the entire jeep and tighten all the interior panel screws, i was surprised that i noticed it any difference but it did help.

Short Version:
The interior may squeak/rattle, but a screw driver and ten minutes will get rid of most of them.
