Do you think it would be worth a shot to replace the iac?

You can look em up and also look into the map sensor as well. Make sure the vac line from it is in tact and not kinked up

Question is, could I just grab a dual booster, prop valve, MC and the brake pedal with switch from a '96 XJ and be good to go? I don't really want to fiddle around too much and be out of a Jeep for 3-4 days. Any help is greatly appreciated!

PS: This is what I was meaning... http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl.../photo_03.html

Anybody??
