Sounds like the solenoid not throwing, any auto sparky should be able to fix.
The hardest part of the job will be removing the engine mount so you can get the starter out. I purchased a new starter because mine was sticking & not retracting from the ring gear. When I seen you need to remove the engine mount I gave up.
I think having the vehicle on a hoist would make the job much easier.
I reckon the solenoid could be replaced while still in the Jeep, remove the 2 bolts that hold the starter to the bell housing allowing the starter to be rotated, undo the electrical connections & the 2 screws that that hold the solenoid to the starter to remove it.
For easy access you remove the left hand side inner plastic guard.
