The throttle body is what your fancy new intake from your other thread is going to connect to. http://www.frontiernet.net/~gmoabrim/DoneFrntLQ.jpg It's where the intake tube is connecting to the engine. It mounts to the intake manifold. If you're going to get an aftermarket one, go with a 62mm TB for a little more oomph and throttle response. With that and a cold air intake, you'll notice a little difference.

If you have any questions while installing your new parts, just shoot me a PM and I'll try to help you out, considering this thread will probably be gone before you get the new parts.

Here's one brand new.

http://www.speedycarparts.com/sku/Je...791_0100119519

Here's one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-...#ht_500wt_1182 . There's a $70 core charge added to that price though. When you send em your old throttle body, you get refunded.
