'88 codes are almost guaranteed to be different from the current ones. There have been quite a few folks that have gotten build sheets for their older, typically AMC/Renix engined Cherokees only to find that they supposedly have (and I'm making these up...mostly) rear-seat DVD, or different colors and trim, or some form of a V8, or options that are so wildly non-Cherokee...because Jeep/Daimler-Chrysler recycles those codes.
Here's mine for an '87 --- BTW, this is just how it came from the dealership . . . so, if yours doesn't have the description, the dealer printed off a different form - if they want to (and/or you ask real nice) they can get the info. As Yucca-Man says, there are some obvious errors on my build sheet . . . but it's a starting point:

BTW - the post that says to email the website is correct for newer models, but probably won't work for AMC era or early ChryCo era XJ's. At least that's what those that have tried have reported.
