Back in 97 when I bought my 98 model XJ there were a couple of wood grain kits from the factory, they were a mite pricey from what I remember, like around $300 for so...

the dash overlay around the radio/guages was the only woodgrain i have seen stock. my moms 95 country has the woodgrain dash overlay, but not all the way around the jeep.

I think it looks pretty nice. Is it real wood?

you Know that its older than 88.... i dont know doesnt look it to me.
maybe someone on here can tell from them, but i would think early to mid 90s. it would be a lot easier to tell an exact year from the rear hatch.
do you have a brake light by the bottom of the wiper arm, on the top of the hatch, or none at all.
actually heres a way to tell. look at your front grill. does it have a metal lip above the grill inserts, or are the plastic ones the only pieces on there. on older jeeps there is a little metal, well, awning above teh plastic grill pieces that retain them.
and your crossing your fingers its NOT a HO? why its a great motor thats easy to work on and last upwards of 250,000 miles
also, look at the engine. if it the antifreeze bottle is up by the hood hinge on the pas. side and it looks like an oval, and there is no radiator cap in sight. its most likely a renix unless the PO upgraded to open system.

check for the D44 its the only non symetrical rear axle that the cherokee came with so youll know.
no you cant rule out the HO but it is a possibility
