Not an unusual problem - check when the brakes start to lock by momentarily opening a bleed nipple on each circuit. If it immediately frees the brakes it indicates the brake master cylinder isn't fully returning and the warming and expanding brake fluid can't return to the reservoir and the brakes are applied instead.
Sometimes (rarely) the master cylinder sticks due to internal corrosion but more often it is either maladjustment of the footbrake linkage or the brake booster and/or the master cylinder has been replaced without ensuring there is a clearance between the master cylinder piston and the booster pushrod.
Dealers usually have the benefit of service tools to make the task easier, otherwise it needs some nifty and careful measuring (with the footbrake link released) to either adjust the booster push rod or add shims between them until there is an 8 - 10 thou inch clearance.
Im sure not all of them are locking up. try replacing the flex hoses to the fronts first. they rot inside and clog and wont let a caliper release. been there done that with a 99 same jeep. also if you have a straight 6 get rid of it before the piston skirts shatter at a round 170000 miles. may as well flush all the fluid while your at it
Try bleeding the slave cylinders.

One long bolt at the top - requires a 7mm socket to remove the bolt. The light housing will pry out with a screw driver. There are three ball and socket type connectors that hold the housing in and I just pryed off the plastic housing carefully and "balls" pop out of the sockets. Finally, I was replacing the faded plastic housing and it came with a new wiring harness. It's impossible to reach the connector to use the new wiring harness that comes with the new plastic light housing. So just use the existing wiring harness with the new light assembly.

If you have the same pulley arrangement that most 4.0 engines have that pulley is an idler not a tensioner. Your power steering pump has a pivot bolt, and a slide under the pump. You adjust belt tension using the pump.
