Get the factory service manuals, it will be the best maintenance purchase you can make.
According to my FSM ('01), here are the cumulative "Schedule B" items for 72 to 81 thousand miles:
- Change the engine oil and engine oil filter.
- Lubricate the steering linkage tie rod ends.
- Lubricate the steering and suspension ball joints.
- Inspect the engine air filter element, replace if necessary (4.0L Only).
- Clean and dry the engine air filter element (2.4L Only).
- Inspect the brake linings.
- Drain and refill the front and rear axle fluid.
- Inspect the drive belt and replace as needed.

Does it come with the owners manual? Regular maintenance is in there.
(You keep posting parts of that service manual, and I'll soon have it all!) Thanks Bill
