NO. There was never an UP Country version of any Jeep. Up Country is an off-road oriented option package, available on certain models, including XJs.

I have never come across an upcountry however I have seen a few country trim levels at the junkyard one in which was a 2wdIi thought it was a bit odd.

bummer dude, i got my 96 country but i dont think it has the up country package, no factory skids or nothing, i got the awesome package where my leafs are literally inverted and my rear is about an inch and a half lower than factory. pretty sweet huh?



and idk if this is a dumb question, but whats lsd?

I heard the inverted leaf package is in high demand.

But "lsd" is for limited slip diff.
