The oil filter housing and the timing cover can all be worked on with engine in car. For the rear engine seal (rear main seal), the transfer case and transmission will have to be removed to access the seal. Most of the time, the oil pan can be removed without raising the engine. Check your clearance under there for anything obstructing removal. (I loaned out my Jeep manual and never got it back!) On some cars, engine needs to be raised about 4 inches for pan to clear the oil pickup tube. Don't know about your Jeep.
The drain plug of the chevrolet 2004 trial blazer is located under the engine skid plate it is with the oil filter. And there is a guard to be removed. There is a trap door before it.
The skid plate door is located by the drivers side door, directly midway underneath the vehicle. You will need a flat/phillips hear screwdriver to open the trap door. Do not worry, the screws are 'loss-proff' and will not fall off the trap door plate. Once this has been removed, the oil drain plug and oil filter are now visible and accessible.
Oil change should not take you more that 15/20 minutes.
Standing in front of the Jeep facing the engine, it is on the left side, near the bottom and at the back of the engine where the transmission bellhousing bolts to the engine block. The oil filter will be roughly 6 inches above it.

filter is inside the box at the end of the long 4" diameter black varigated hose that runs from the throttle body on the engine to the front of the car. Usually there either clips or screws around the perimeter to remove the top portion to get at the filter, On some it's easier if you remove the hoses from it first.
You didn't post the size of motor but once you drop the skid plate, you will see it.
The oil filter is under the engine skid plate. You need to remove the trap door to see.
The skid plate door is located by the drivers side door, directly midway underneath the vehicle. You will need a flat or Phillips-hear srewdriver to open the trap door. Don't worry, the screws are 'loss-proof' and will not fall off the trap door plate. Once this has been removed, the oil drain plug and oil filter are now visible and accessable (how smart is that!)
Typical oil change and oil filter replacement time = 15-20 mins. for a familiar shadetree.
p.s. The Inline 6 (24 valve - 4.2L) takes 7 quarts of oil.
Good luck!
