Lately when starting up my Jeep it does not crank over very fast. Almost sounds like I'm trying to start it with a weak battery. Problem is when I do start it none of my lights dim. The battery is less than 2 years old and the alternator looks to be putting out a charge on the volt meter on the dash. My experience with weak or dying batteries is the when you try starting and your dome light will dim meaning the battery is the issue. Can it be the starter starting to get weak? Starter solenoid maybe?
 
I'd definately get the starter bench tested. If it's on its way out, they can draw wayyyy too much juice and present the symptoms you mentioned.
