Interior configuration(dash, seats,...), suspension, engine/transmission(on the later ones), electrical system, and it appears the YJ's have beefier axle shafts, at least on the front which is HP.
The TJ's have airbags too. They definately ride smoother due to the coil suspension. And the top was redesigned to be taken down easier and make less noise. I had a TJ and it was ok, but almost "too" nice for a jeep. I sold it and went back to a YJ.
A jeep is meant to get dirty and to beat it up a bit. I can take all the carpet out of my YJ in 2 minutes flat and hose it out. The TJ was alot more "refined' I guess would be the word. I felt bad getting it dirty, haha. I came back to the good-side...
The TJs have the beefier axle shafts with the larger joints (although the '95 Wranglers had these as well) and one piece design on the passenger side.
The high pinion design of the YJ is stronger and located higher than the low pinion design of the TJ. Just slap some TJ shafts in a YJ housing, get the stronger joints and rid of the vacumm crap and call it a day.
