Where is it smoking from? I assume you mean from the tailpipe but theres about a billion things a jeep could burn up and create smoke.

Does it blow smoke out the exhaust pipe at a stop but seem to quit blowing the smoke once you're under way?

Had the same problem on my wife's XJ. Replaced the valve stem seals with the head on the engine in the Jeep, and it doesn't burn a drop of oil between changes now.

Call some trusted local shops and ask them how much to put valve stem seals in.

Then it isn't bad. I did mine in an afternoon. I had to borrow the valve spring compressor from a buddy.
