    Engine pull for freeze plug

    So I need to do my rear freeze plug on my 2000 4.0, decided I'm going to pull the engine to do them all. What else should I do when my engine is out, it runs good 124k on it. I don't plan on a complete rebuild but figure I would ask about some things you would freshen up when its out. Thanks!
