does anyone have a write-up on how to replace the front brake pads and rotors on a 2002 jeep grand cherokee?

oh my, you really need instructions on a brake job? take the wheel off, remove the caliper bolts, remove old pads and rotors, replace in reverse order. and it helps to have a large C-clamp to compress the caliper piston. don't forget to use the caliper grease to maintain proper caliper release. it's very easy, shouldn't take more than an hour to do both sides.
