When an engine cools down it makes all sorts of hissing and burbley noises,
that's just the radiator cooling down and sucking from the overflow bottle.
The AC makes similar noises as well as it equalizes.
The radiator cap prevents too much pressure from building up. If it does the
cap will open and coolant flows into the overflow bottle. It's normal for
coolant to do this, that's why the bottle has a high/low mark.

Hi Carl,
If your worried about a head gasket, take to any radiator shop, it's
easily tested for. If you change your coolant by every two years, the acid will
never be strong enough to eat through the gaskets and freeze plugs, and if you
didn't accidentally run it to far on a blown hose or belt, and over heat, and
warp the head/block, chances are you'll be OK.

Re: 180 theromstat in 4.0?
Thanks guys. I just bought the Jeep, the PO said it was maintained well, but
I am going to get the coolant changed anyway. I'll run a compression test
when I do the tune up, and I'll have them run a coolant pressure test.
Thanks,
Carl

Just to reiterate, a cooler thermostat does not help control overheating.
Only a properly working system will cool correctly.
