It's got all the eqpt discussed in this thread, and no rear sway bar. Skid plates, trans cooler, factory tow hitch, upcountry springs, tow hooks, etc.
I'll be changing out the springs/shocks for a little more lift. Right now, the front appears to be 1.5" higher than vanilla and the rear is 1.0" higher. Rear shocks look to be original in that the original bolts are still in place. They don't look to be badly rusted. Was shipped to Wisconsin, sold in Michigan, made it's way to Seattle and I bought it out of the S.F. bay area. It hasn't been pampered but in pretty good shape. It's white and the clear coat is in good shape.

I rarely see xjs with a trans cooler. And even without one i don't think thats why people have overheating issues.

If it has no cooler then what keeps it from overheating? The torque converter and the clutches produce a lot of heat especially when offroading in low speed situations.
The auto trans cooler is part of the radiator. Now maybe with a tow package an auxiliary trans cooler is provided in conjunction with the std one in the radiator I don't know.

Ok that makes sense mine has one in addition to that but it is only a single loop so I don't think it makes that much difference.
