questions about factory installed off-road package

It consists of tow hooks, skid plates, a 1 inch lift, rear limited slip differential, and maybe an auxilary trans cooler (not confirmed) and maybe a larger radiator too.
I have a '99 Sport that has the Up-Country package. When I bought it a couple years ago I immediately noticed it seemed to sit higher than other Cherokees, and at first I thought maybe somebody had played with the suspension. Aside from that there's no rear swaybar, and I have a tranny cooler as well. However the skid plates are missing, and I assume a prior owner took them off and threw them away. Is there anywhere that I can look to buy replacements? I don't want uber-duty aftermarket, I just want my factory parts back!

plus - the rear sway bar deleted and a full size spare.Blaine B. said:
Look for factory skids on the
For Sale Forum, eBay, or some of online parts places like www.allchryslerparts.comOkay, now I'm a bit confused. I assumed the skid plates look like the ones on my old Chevy S-10, which were big flat 1/4" thick plates that covered up much of the drivetrain. I see a sheet metal cover over my fuel tank, but I can't tell what the other skid plates are supposed to look like. Does anybody have pictures of what the factory skid plates all look like, and how many are there supposed to be? I'm a little too embarrassed to go to a dealer and ask one of their guys to crawl under my Jeep.

Sounds like the skid, at least for your fuel tank, is there. The rest of us without fuel tank skids have a piece of plastic around the tank. It's great for disguising dents in the tank.

all the cherokees have a gas tank shield, the "skid plate" for it is beefier. I dont have a good picture of my front skid, but you'll know its there, large metal plate below the bumper

If you got some pics, we could have came to that conclusion sooner.
Can you get some anyway? I'd be interested to see yours.

And that funny noise that you hear when accelerating on a right turn (from a stop), is the Limited Slip actually slipping... Junk.
