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.
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?

Yeah, I'm sort of stuck now. I need to fix it to sell it. I could probably sell it as is. But it may take a while. But if I pay to fix it and it runs great, I might as well keep driving it. It's paid for and has never given me an issue in 5 years. The mechanic said it is in great shape other than the overheating. Going to take about a week since he has to send it off for machining. Gives me time to think if I want to keep it or not.
