Pretty sure some have used the Durango rear wiper to replace the original GW wiper. Might be enough similarity to allow a retrofit as well as a replacement. Search for that brought up several threads.

If you don't have an existing wiper, it's a pain, but it has been done.
I think there might be a thread here, but there's 2 or 3 at IFSJA--you have to take a Dremel with a cutting wheel to get the wiper motor to go through, and then you'll have to figure out how to get some holes drilled to mount the motor.
Kind of a pain, might be easier to scope out salvage yards for an existing gate with a wiper already in it. Based on what I've read, I'd definitely recommend the Durango motor (same as ZJ I believe), bolts right up IIRC.
The wiring wpuld be simple jist fish the right size wire depending on the motor wattage and wire length through the harness or not up to you.. and in the tailgate.. use a relay and small trigger wire on a switch on the dash.. inline fuse.
Then follow the durango motor conversion for the 89-91s.
I did the durango motor on my 90 like 5 years ago. You have to build a bracket for it in the tailgate with metal but its all covered in the write up i believe
