Forget the plug.

Pull the lower radiator hose off the radiator and drain from there.

Bigger opening, easier to get to, and its less likely to be seized, corroded, or generally difficult to remove.

OEM radiator it would be the right side (passenger) on the side so you need to pull the grill off. If it's a cheap replacement then it might not even have a drain so just pull the radiator hose.

Its been a while since I've gotten to the plug so don't quote me but my 99 Cherokee plug is on the passenger side. Best way to get to it is taking the headlight assembly off.
