Is the head on a 96 4.0 h.o the same as a head on a 95 4.0 h.o?

I just cut mine straight across and they're perfectly fine. Yours will be a little different due to the different (newer) body style but should be similar. In the rear you need to do a cut and fold though.

If all you are cutting is straight from bumper back, it will be fine. I just cut mine with a sawzall after i marked and masked it. Then touched with Rustoleum. As far as further cutting, i havnt been there done that. Yet.

'97 and up had a steel hatch...

In case you're wondering, it won't fit on your '95

I keep blowing my fuse to my power locks. I am trying to figure out why, and I the only thing I can think of Is because of one of my rear doors. It doesn't always lock/unlock when you hit the button. Since it doesn't work properly could it be drawing too much energy? Thus blowing the fuse?

You more than likely have a short on the power side of the wiring.

Default High idle

I just bought a 95 sport 5spd. I have been reading like crazy for a week and cannot find anyone having exaxtly the problem im having so im going to go ahead and ask. Ok, so when i so first start for the day my idle is low (500-800) and when it warms its too high (1100-1300) and twice now it has died while in gear at about 30mph. both times it died it fired back up after about one minute. So far i have replaced the TPS, CTS, MIT, new ccv to intake manifold vacuum line, and waiting on a new MAP sensor and a charcoal canister vacuum line. Any other ideas? im going to replace the upstream o2 also. what about cps or iac valve? i just bought the jeep a couple weeks ago other than the idle it runs strong for 259k always wanted an xj and love it alot so i need to figure this thing out. any help will be much appreciated.
