I drove my Jeep about 60 miles yesterday without issue. When I got home I installed a MORE engine and transmission skid, which I a purely mechanical undertaking.
While taking my kids to school, my traction control turned off sitting at a red light. I turned it back on and it immediately turned off again. However, once I started moving it would turn and stay on.
Any thoughts?

Yes, I have a tazer that is installed but unmarried.
While unmarried, does it keep memory of ESS button and stuff?

The reason I ask is because I get this exact issue when the following happens:

1) I am off-roading on 4LO. 4LO turns off traction control.
2) I turn off the Jeep while the transfer case is on 4LO.
3) I turn the jeep back on, go on 2WD going back home.
4) Hit a red light. ESS kicks in - traction control off.

I do not use ESS anymore and this hasn't happened to me since. My theory was that the Tazer kept the traction control off in memory as it keeps the ESS button selection memory. ESS turning off doesn't store last settings in the tazer, but when it turns on it reads the last memory settings.

It happened on a red light because that's what would activate ESS.

I think I used to fix this by turning traction control on manually, then turning the jeep off. Opening the door, close it, wait 60 seconds. Turn Jeep back on.

I think you nailed exactly what happened. I shift to 4Lo to disconnect the sway bar to check clearance in the skid plate and it must have remembered the traction control setting.
