It will turn on and turn over but will not start battery is pretty new and starter seems fine just replaced the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator so just wondering if anyone might have any ideas what the problem might be?
 
You said it will turn on? and then you said it will not start?

Any check engine lights? If you just replaced parts you might want to retrace your steps to make sure you haven't left anything unplugged. Such as the coil pack, cam sensor etc. If you feel the fuel system is fine then check your ignition an easy way to check is by unplugging a wire and grounding it somewhere on the to make sure they are sparking.
 
Check the ASD relay (auto shut down). Also, check for spark. 99 will still have a distributor, so pull one of the wires going to the spark plug - look up how to do so safely if you are not sure. Did you check for fuel pressure? New pump could still be bad or a wire was damaged on the install. How old is the filter (though a bad filter will usually allow jeep to start, then will die when more power is applied)
