Does the a/c run when the air settings are between hot and cold? Or is it just air sucking in from the blower motor? I guess I could go run it and check myself but I'm away from the jeep.

This annoyed me on my 1999 (cold face, wasted gas, and no heater recirculate for winter) so I wired in a disable switch. On a 97+ all the switch needs to do is open the small light green wire coming in on the 7 pin connector by the fan speed ****.

I dont blame you and I only go there when its the last resort. I couldnt imagine them charging more than a dollar or two but then again it is the dealer, who knows. They quoted me $180 for motor mounts.

My 96 Cherokee sport wont start, I recently swapped out the distributor and changed the cps, I also found a blown fuse for the coil, but even after all that it still won't start, there is no power to the coil and there is two male plugs that don't seem to have a fit anywhere in the engine bay, I have done everything I can think of to get it running again but nothing has seemed to work, anyone have any ideas?

A friend pressed on my brake pedal when I had a caliper off of a rotor (brake line still attached) and now the caliper is closed shut and I can't install it back on the rotor. Does this means I will have to disconnect the brake line, vent pressure, and then purge the line of air?

+1 pop the bleeder and force the piston back. You could use the outer edges of the caliper plates (that ride on the mounting bracket) to pry on without damaging the pads, not sure if the piston would be happy about that uneven force though.
I also recommend getting a new friend. Messing with stuff you're working on is 7-year-old stuff, but jumping into the vehicle while it's on jackstands and you're beside/underneath is very dangerous.

IIRC you can only get them direct from Brown Dog Offroad, and there's no reason to buy anywhere else - they're a small company and need the support.
