[QUOTE="JimNH, post: 427138, member: 18470"] I got a 2008 with an unknown maintenance history and 150K - except that it came with new brakes and a new muffler. I have changed the serpentine belt, the coolant, put on new rear shocks, and I have the new spark plugs and wires (not looking forward to that) and also new gear oil to put in the front and rear differential. I have not yet purchased the fluid for the transfer case. Doing all that should "baseline" the maintenance for me, so I at least know that it was done and when. the transmission fluid seems pretty good - but probably should do that too. I generally change the oil at 5000 mile intervals. I also plan to wash the underside and paint the frame anywhere I can see any corrosion starting (NH is terrible for salt on the roads). [/QUOTE]
