I have a 98 Jeep Cherokee and the upper hose is busted. It looks pretty easy to replace...am I getting myself into trouble?

That is probably the easiest repair on a car.
1 flat tipped screwdriver.
1 replacement hose.

go to auto part buy the hose and the clamps and at the same time buy an "screwdriver" that has the tip with the form of a socket,buy the same measure as the the one the clamps has
check if they match the ones the vehicle has at this moment

you won't get your self into trouble if you have the right tools to do the job. the original hose clamps are going to be the hardest thing to remove. good pair of pliers to remove the old clamps, flat blade screwdriver for the new clamps. hose and new coolant. get premixed coolant. much easier to use. take your time and it will go easily.
