Steering gear boxes always leak, Front Track bars always like to work loose. Thats all i can think of. Good luck.

Hmm.. The ones I can note, at least with my Jeep:

1) Front sway bar ends where they link to the axle are plastic and if you go over a curb thats too high they will break off (sarcasm).

2) Front steering gear (right under the front bumper) leaks.. Mine has gotten so bad theres a large puddle under my Jeep everyday and I have to refill it everyday..

3) Rear trackbar bushings blow out and then they rattle (Don't know if this is common or not but mine blew out relatively quickly after I started wheeling).

I have found that playing with my TJ causes a lot more nagging maintenance issues than playing with my YJ - the better road ride seems to come at the expense of brute strength.
