OK... just needed to make sure this wasn't a recent problem that came to be.
That said, there's not a whole lot you can do to change the feel, since part of it has to do with the relatively complex plumbing system associated wtih Chrysler's anti-lock braking system.
You can however, upgrade your brake pads to a set of high performance Hawk brake pads on the front and rear axles. I might suggest the performance ceramic brake pads for the front, and the HPS setup for the rear. You can see them at: http://catalog.hawkperformance.com/h_category_search.php?company_id=10028147&year=2004&model_id2=1577&makes=JEEP&engine_id=&dealer=no&display_mode=4&sub_category_id=3725
I can't promise you that it will make the difference you're looking for, but I have upgraded to Rancho brake pads (they don't make them anymore) in the past and noticed an improvement in the feel.
At worst, you may want to give Hawk a call, and see what they have to say about it too.
