tailgate key cylinder

I have a 93 xj. I need to replace the cylinder in the back hatch, does anyone kno of any good threads to look up, or possibly some good advice, good places to purchase them from?

Do you need to replace only the cylinder or the entire latch assembly? If the entire assembly, do you have a cargo light?

I wanted to add the light to my '93 and got the assembly with the switch from TeamCherokee: http://teamcherokee.com/tailgate-latch-oem-cherokee-1984-1996/

They also have some cylinders.

With this approach you end up with a different key but I have an aftermarket power locks and keyless entry so minor problem. Otherwise a locksmith might be one way to go.
