It lives and breathes! Just need to shake it down a little and triple check all my bolts and start putting some miles on.
OP
I ran off my 500 break-in miles and changed my fluids. Was feeling excited and ready to get out there on a trail. Yesterday, it started bucking like a bronco and threw out the P0122 and P0123 codes. I just changed the TPS less than 1k miles ago because it failed. I'll have to investigate but I'm having trouble believing that a genuine Mopar part failed that quickly.

I squared off the bolts with a small grinder so I could get at them with proper grip and leverage. After some squeaking and creeking they came out. They have a lot of loctite for a simple sensor. I ordered a genuine Mopar part since it comes with new screws. Taking back my echlin sensor since it didn't have them and was only a few bucks cheaper. I couldn't find the screws individually.

A welder is on my list of shop needs...
For future reference, since you've already solved this problem, another method would be to cut a slot for using a large flat head.
Mine too, but damn those prices for a good unit. A good price on a used setup seems to be few and far between nowadays.

Websites like this. They don't have good prices on new stuff but they do deep discounts on open box.

New Mopar sensor installed and she lives and breathes again with no fault codes.

I ordered new cables from jeepcables.com. This is a very nice kit with easy to read labels and quality cable and ends.
OP
The PO had some corrosion issues and cut some of the wires short making them difficult to work with. They also didn't solve the problem as the corrosion was working it's way down the cables making them brittle. Now that the old stuff is out I'm realizing just how bad they were. Even the alternator lead has cracked insulation. I went with 2GA to upsize them in case I have future needs. This kit also has a nice fuse block which makes expansion easier.
