When the jeep gets up to temp it dies, something electrical? No sputter just shuts down. Let it sit 20 min and fires up with no hesitation. Replaced starter. I heard the solenoid can fry electronic ignition, replaced electronic ignition

Try a crankshaft position sensor. Those 4.0 L engines are known for those going out when hot and doing exctly what you describe. It is mounted on top of the bellhousing (trans) at the drivers side top.
