Are you lifted? If yes, have you centered your steering wheel? If not, the Jeep thinks its in a slide and will activate ESP.

It always helps to fill out your profile.
I see you have 2007 in your username...is your Jeep in 07?
Not only do you have a (very) high lift that could cause problems, but if I remember correctly there was an issue with traction control specifically on one of the earlier model years.

Are you sway bars connects or disconnected? If they are disconnected up front and you take a corner too fast your ABS and TC will kick in and make it very dangerous. Been there done that. Make sure everything is connected properly.
I'm assuming you've had the steering wheel re-centered already, but if you've gone out wheeling lately it may have knocked it out of alignment. Re-center the steering to confirm and check the balljoints and steering joints. If they are loose, then you're steering alignment will be affected which will affect how the computer reacts to how you drive.
Electronics are a bitch and I wish they made vehicles like they did pre-80s with no electronic braking and stability control etc.
