Unfortunately, that was it. Blown gasket. What's reasonable for a small shop to repair this? I need a new gasket, water pump, and thermostat. I was quoted around $2,500.
EDIT: I called back, and it needs the head machined as well. He also said that quote included a new radiator.

Yikes! Does that quote include the machining?
Thermostat is cheap. I've never changed a pump on the 4.0, but the 3.8l isn't horrible. If I was estimating a cost to do that in a shop, I would guess about $600-800. I've got no clue on the head gasket replacement and machining. Sounds like it would cost a lot.
My opinion is how much do you really like that jeep?

Sorry to hear that. The bubbling and building pressure without overheating a lot at first.
Head gasket set about 200. Labor of about 10 to 12 hrs. Resurface head about 150. @ 100 bucks/hr with tax, LOF, etc ypur should be looking at 2K.
