Alignment issue. Or non issue?
Got my alignment checked today. Is this normal as result of wheeling 3 times a week this summer? Or a serious issue?

Clearly your toe and your camber are off. Neither of which is a good thing. At the very least it is going to cause tire wear issues. Without any real numbers to see just how far out you are its kind of hard to say if its serious. You probably do something about it if thats what your wondering.

The camber could new a bent c or balljoints. My passenger side looks similar to yours with the camber measurement. The tires should have a slight toe in. Yours are toe out. At the least I would recomend a front end alignment which can be found on this forum. A how to guide. Good luck with it

I think I asked the wrong question. Sorry.
Is this issue caused from too much wheeling? Too much wheeling and not enough maintenance? Or "it just comes with the territory of wheeling, period"?
I'm only a year into owning my JK, so I'm not sure if this is normal behavior for a jeep or just a jeep that wheels A LOT, like 3 trips a month in the summer months. (The wheeling bug bit me hard. Haha.)

Yes wheeling it could definitely have affected your alignment. Vehicles don't typically go out of alignment for no reason. Some force has to act on a suspension part to knock it out of alignment. Or something has worn out and has caused your alignment issues. Either way its most likely something you've done be it rock crawling, hitting a curb, big pothole, etc.
