Good luck.... I was looking for both as well, cause one of mine was broken when I bought the Jeep, and the other one I broke by accident when I was using a pair of vise grips to get my broken oil cap off right after I bought the Jeep... and I went to autozone they said their distributor was out of stock and had been for a while, so I went to two different Jeep dealerships to pruchase them, and they both told me the same thing as well... so hopefully your dealerships are worth their money, cause the ones I have aren't... I ended up hitting a JY and got them both.. They would be the same thing as a PCV valve on most cars... but they don't call them a PCV valve anymore it is called something else, but if you go to the stealership and tell them that you are looking for the two PCV valve elbow pieces on top of the valve cover they should know what you are talking about anyways.

jeeps do not have PCV valves, they have "CCV Fittings" - totally different system.
The rear elbow is the actual CCV fitting, and it is simply a elbow with a certain size hole in the end of it - there is no valve. The front elbow is exactly that, just an open elbow.
Jeep dealership has both the elbows and grommets. You reall shouldn't need to replace the elbows, just clean them up real good with carb cleaner and reinstall. I would get new grommets though since as a previous poster said, they get hard and don't seal well when they get old.

The CrankCase Ventilation (CCV) and Postive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) are essentially the same thing, they allow air to circulate via a vacuum from the throttle body and an inlet of fresh air from the air box. This puts blow-by gasses back into your engine to be burned. A failed CCV or PCV will result in blow-by gases exiting through the intake port and creating the annoying oil buildup of oil on your air filter. Air should go in the front, out the back, but if that valve fails or your vacuum from the TB is clogged, you'll have, I guess, negative cranckcase ventilation.
Edit: CCV is "Closed Crankcase Ventilation." Still the same thing though, as the vac system is considered "closed" (since vac intake is through the intake manifold).

All 2.5L 4–cylinder and 4.0L 6–cylinder engines

(CCV) system (Fig. 4) or (Fig. 5).
OPERATION
The CCV system performs the same function as a
conventional PCV system, but does not use a vacuum
controlled valve.
On 4.0L 6 cylinder engines, a molded vacuum tube
connects manifold vacuum to top of cylinder head
(valve) cover at dash panel end. The vacuum fitting
contains a fixed orifice of a calibrated size. It meters
the amount of crankcase vapors drawn out of the
engine.
