What about a hand throttle? You could make that outta a few bucks in bike parts. It's also helpful on the trails (in a manual at least) n.
Trailboss, I installed a Rostra electric cruise control in may 97 TJ back in June of this year. I researched them and Rostra looked to be the best aftermarket unit.

though I'm in Louisiana these guys seemed like a good outfit.They answered the phone on a Saturday morning when I decided to order it.They shipped it right away. I got the P/N 2501223 Cruise Control Unit and P/N 2503421 Control Lever. $177 Total
I've been real happy with it. One of the better things I've done to the Jeep. Hardest part about the install is finding the right wires to connect to on the TJ. I have a factory service manual which I think was a life saver here.
If you get this unit and get stumped during the install I'll be around here.

thanks a lot friend, I'll look into it!
You can still get the factory units. I just got one for my '00 XJ. They also have the kits for TJ. A little pricey, but installation is a snap since you don't have to cut and splice.

The standard Mopar one is pretty good, and the kit is easy to install.
I got mine from Jeepsareus.com
