You can email the vin to jeep for a build sheet if that helps any.

Hmmm, my VIN is 3 digits longer. Have you tried requesting a build sheet from Chrysler? I'm not sure if it works for non-domestic Jeeps but it's worth a try. Explain your situation and request a build sheet in the Description field, they're quite responsive.

Just making sure. I'm sure someone could Google a VIN decoder.

Acording to your vin number your XJ is made in Indonesia.
Look at http://www.angelfire.com/ca/TORONTO/VIN/WMI.html, and maybe you can get more info from it.
