Default forest service rig

I just got an 89 jeep cherokee that was a forest service rig and in the roof there's a wire running to a wierd little plug thing that goes through my roof with a grommet. I assume its a mounting location for cb antennas but i have never seen a mount that would work on it. I know this thread is kinda useless without pictures so ill post some up tommorow. And does anybody know anything that makes a government rig different than a "civilian" rig? Any info is greatly appreciated

Yes, they paint them a really ugly green color.

Is the shifter in the floor or on the steering column?

I'm sure it was some sort of aftermarket something.

Light bar maybe?

My guess would be for "police"-type lights.
