Default Lubrication/Maintenance question

Are there any grease fittings or parts that need lubricated or other maintenance issues that I need to keep an eye on that arent included in the maintenance schedule from chrysler?

I have been tempted to use a needle grease gun device to inject grease into the ball joints. I, however, was reminded that it is a special "lifetime" grease and mixing types is not a good thing. Maybe trying to find that special grease would work even though you'd make a small injection hole in the rubber ball joint seal.

A lot depends on the rigs activity. After a good day at the swamp I'll wash under carriage real good then break out a can of wd40 and spray the entire underbody (not soaking it, just a light spray)

I'm struggling with what exactly needs to be greased.

1) Every oil change (bushings?) [Amsoil, Lucas Red n Tacky...]

2) After getting mud (all of the motor and undercarriage after a good wash?) [WD-40]

I haven't greased anything yet either after getting in the mud or as maintenance, help is appreciated.

Thanks.
