I had a similar issue with my '95 it ended up being the oil pressure sending unit. Cheap fix and took like 3 minutes to change.

Almost assuredly the oil pressure sending unit. I recommend purchasing a Mopar unit from your Jeep dealer for the best reliability/accuracy/mating with your factory gauge. Well worth the extra twenty bucks....

I've had a duralast unit from autozone for close to 2 years now. 8 bucks. Might be luck of the draw but its also lifetime warrantied part.
