We'll need where in the World you are located.  Locksmiths in general aren't cheap, plus if your Jeep has the computer chip in the key fob, expensive.
Good luck

I thought about an alternative--what about getting a new ignition key module (or whatever it's called) to replace the old one?  That might be expensive...On the other hand, I have never met a "discount" locksmith--you have a big problem and you will have to pay the market rate for fabbing a new key.

Pull one of your door locks out and take it to a locksmith. That will be the cheapest way. I am not sure about the 2004 but on the 1998 Grand Cherokee the cut key worked no problems.

Call a dealer and ask them if they can make a key if you bring in the title and how much it would cost. The title and your identification will prove it is yours.
I am not sure, but I think it is similar to a 2005 Caravan that we owned. To program a new chip key yourself, you need both factory keys or you need a dealer or a locksmith with the correct equipment. I am a diehard do-it-yourselfer, but I would call the dealer and prepare to bite a bullet. You will probably be out a hundred bucks or so.

No chips in Wrangler keys. They didn't even have power door locks as an option in 04, manual only so that the doors can be removed without worrying about wires. The mirrors aren't even remote controlled, and crank windows only, too!
 
And I'm assuming you have a hardtop, otherwise unlocking it wouldn't be a problem. My wife locked the key in her Jeep, just had to unzip the top and crawl in.

Have you tried contacting a Jeep dealer? If you can supply your VIN number along with proof you own the Jeep I think they can get you a replacement key.

Well  i recently had lost my car key and http://www.doublestarlocks.com/services/margate-locksmith - locksmith had made a new key.I finally conclude that locksmith is not such expensive as the dealer.

And that's why i keep a extra set of keys for all my vehicles in a lock box. If i loose one i just get the spare set. If the original doesn't turn up in a week or so i get a new one cut off the spare. If the original turns up i just toss it on the ring with the spare. Easy peasy. Another idea is if you can get a lock cylinder out is go around to your local junk yards and see if they have a set of keys. Alt of them keep master sets. If not they may have one out in a car that will work for you. Might take a little while to find but save you some cash.

I've been told by a honda dealer once, that the code is punched internally on the ignition switch. Check with a dealer to be sure before you go tearing it apart.Then i go to dealer but he charged me very high then i contact to Berwyn Locksmith and they meet me at my place ad made a set of keys for me.

If you are in need of a auto locksmith then you need to follow a few steps. You can call your family or friends and ask them for a recommendation to a reliable locksmith. If you've got some time, you can also look for the Locksmiths on the internet. You can easily find a locksmith in your area or any location by searching on the internet.

This happened to me many moons ago, turned out the glove box lock is the door lock key as well. Gave the glove box tumbler to a locksmith and he replicated a key from it.
