Default How Often

Should you re-fluid everything? Grease things up (lift maintenance) and check your jam nuts?

I do all fluid changes at the recommended intervals and I grease everything and check all the suspension at every oil change

If you get in the habit early there is less chance you will miss a small problem and have it turn into a bigger more expensive problem. It would be a good idea to keep a log of your maintenance and all the receipts, especially if you have lifetime warranty.

Agreed. I'm not too sure where and what to check regularly. Would be nice if someone created a short printable pdf booklet with pictures of a quick step by step walkthrough on things to check on your Jeep that could be done weekly or whatever. Anyone up to the task? Would be a real good help for newbies such as myself.

You know, things like the Ball Joints and whatnot...one can read about them here on the forums...but not know what to look for or even where on their vehicle to see if they have a problem in the making!

Every 3,500 miles if I'm lucky, I'll grease everything and check everything out.
