Spares??
Good question. I played my stereo while playing catch football/frezbee and ran down the battery. Didn't break but required a back-up "jump battery" to restart the Jeep.
Otherwise NOTHING has broken. I try NOT to break though. I'm not into bending or breaking things just to prove my trail cred, as I used to be. That habit as gotten way expensive.
Drive it like to you want to keep it!
Best of luck, but go prepared.

Is your Jeep going to be left stock. If so I think you would need very little. Once you start lifting it thou then you just opened up a can of worms.
One thing you might look into is a small plastic piece that is part of the 4wd shift linkage. I have heard that this can break if you pull on the 4wd levers too hard. The part is very cheap but can leave you stranded in 4wd. Sorry I do not know the part name or number I will try and find it.
I would also second some sort of back up battery. I was left stranded when my Optima went south.

transfer case shifter
Mine hung up in 4WL. All one must do is slide underneath (plenty of room) reach for the shifter linkage on the transfer-case and move it out of LOW. Not hard. Drove my to the dealer and he replaced it with the factories fix. (they are aware of the issue and have the fix) If your is broke...get it fixed. I wasn't an issue.
