I've noticed over the past couple weeks my jeep seems to be taking a few extra turns start up. its starts fine, but I've noticed that i have to crank a little longer each time to start it up. fuel filter and pump are good as they have recently been replaced.

any ideas where i should start my look besides the basic replacing spark plugs and wires (plan on doing that it this weekend)

Might as well get your battery load tested, alt tested, and starter tested to start off. Most large auto parts stores do this for free.

Pick up some throttle body cleaner. Mine did the same thing last year and it worked for me.

Great idea about getting battery/start/alt tested. Will stop by Autozone when i pick up the plugs and wires and have them test these out.
