Welcome to the Cherokee forums! Hate to break it to you, but you don't have a "XJ" you would have a ZJ, WJ or something else.
Some here are ambidextrous on Cherokees and Grand Cherokees but alas I am not one of them....
So I can't help you with your temp problem.
To get a quicker reply, you might want to post in the "Grand Cherokee Forum". https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f5/

Sounds like you need a new thermostat. A thermostat's job is to make the engine maintain a set operating temperature as a minimum.
