okay so i bought a 99 jeep cherokee se my first one wooohooo when i looked it over somethings peaked my thought i wanted to ask you guys if you could help me kinda figure out what it was built for obviously its a jeep lol built for fun work and driving but its white like mail jeep white the rims are stock cherokee rims on the se and has the upcountry package which is the skid plates tranny cooler trac loc rear end stiff springs gas shocks heavy duty cooling a deleted rear sway bar and an inch lift tow hooks in the fron with a tow hitch the rear and its factory undercoated the interior is as basic as it can get it has no rear speakers or sound bar no cd player or tape player it has manual locks and windows and the dash cluster isnt normal for a 99 cherokee it has the speedometer and where the tach should be it has the fuel gauge thats as big as the speedo it has basic voltage oil temp and a fuel door idiot lights no gauges just the lights and the previous owner said thats the way it came when he bought it and there doesnt appear to be signs of someone changing it it looks factory and on the roof in the center it has two holes one near the back and one in the front the size of a quarter that appear to be factory but someone have put silicone in them i dont know what they could be for maybe antennaes ................its just and interesting jeep i bought it for 700 it had a blown head gasket and there is no rust at all and the interior is amazing i think i got a steal on it but i was thinking it could be a mail jeep or like a utility company had it built for power line work or something like that so plz let me know your opinion cuz it puzzling my brain and i cant find much info on it and the previous owner is as clueless as i am

Definitely get the build sheet from the link posted by GreenXJ98.
It's free, all you need is the VIN number and an e-mail address. Response is usually less than 24 hours.
And we need pictures.

My jeep has everything you described excluding the holes and the missing sound system. Mine is a 1995 2door base model white jeep with se rims, undercoating, upcountry, tow package etc. nothing special, just an original owner who preferred form over function. Or in my case an original owner who needed to be able to tow a heavy trailer long distances. (The upcountry includes the highest available engine and transmission cooling available, making it excellent for towing.)

It's awesome to see base model XJ's with the upcountry suspension. They're kind of perfect setups for rigs, there's no power windows or locks to worry about, and they already have limited slip in the rear. Plus you can easily fit 30's stock with no trimming.
Couldn't agree more! Even with worn out rear springs (due to very heavy duty towing) I am currently running 31s with no trimming. They rub off road, but I am living proof you can comfortably run them on the street. Plus the skid plates, are really nice to have. Especially the t-case skid.
