Are engine bay grounds the same for pre '97 and '97+?
I'm looking for something to pass the time later today after work and I've been trying to find a solid write-up about the engine bay grounding points for pre-'97, non-renix, 4.0's. I find stuff that points out 1 or 2 grounds, and I find full write-ups for the '97+ jeeps, but is there a place to find all of them in 1 write-up for the pre '97's?
I feel like I've seen them somewhere before but I can't seem to find them in the last couple days....
So if they're the same, I can use the '97+ grounds write-up I found in the "useful info here" sticky.
Obviously I know about the main one for the battery, the one by the dip stick, one on the firewall for RF interference, and there are a couple more that hold several grounds, but not 100% on their location.... and I dont know if thats all of them....
I swore this was a sticky... maybe it should be? (for pre 97 non renix)
Thanks ya'll.

or even just the number of grounds works... dont need exact locations.
Not the number of grounding wires, but just the number of places the wires attach as grounds. What is it, like 4 maybe? 5?
