Nice, I think the WJ is due a bit more love. They seem to be good trucks. My brother in law has two, the only issues he has are related to the diesel engines but you're is obviously not diesel powered

Well, definitely starting to work out the bugs. After some Googling, turns out the TPS issue was caused by a somewhat common wire rubbing issue in the harness. Actually, two wires were broken. Spliced both and TPS issue is gone. Luckily, I saved the original TPS so I now have a spare. Replaced the starter because the solenoid seemed to be going bad (could spin the front the the solenoid without turning the body). Also replaced the alternator as it was making an odd noise that sounded like bearing whine. One rotor in the back is warped. I may just do a four wheel brake job to be done with it and see if the original rotors can be turned. If so, I'll oil them up and stick them on a shelf for the next time I need to do brakes.

I also put a local ad on Craigslist looking for junk GC's to pull a few parts from. I wouldn't mind swapping in 3.73 LS axles or a few other upgrade parts. It came with 17" JK wheels painted black with good rubber. Looks pretty decent as-is, but there's always room for improvement.
