Looking for a list of parts that should generally be replaced over time

[Karl]

Hey all,

Looking for a list of parts that should generally be replaced over time. My TJ came from Japan and I have no idea what was done to it (expecting not much) in terms of maintenance. I bought it at 96k km (not miles) and its currently 137.5k km. It runs like a top and I'd like to keep it that way. So what parts should generally be replaced over time that wear out? it might not all be worn out but I want to get new everything so i have a ground zero when it's all installed and I have a starting date/mileage to go buy.

I have:
- Axle ujoints spicer 5-760x
- Driveshaft u joints spicer 5-1310x
- New transmission mount (mine literally is split in 2)


Anything else that wears out? bushings etc.

There are numerous parts that can get replaced as the Jeep ages...
Since you are replacing the transmission mount; you should consider replacing the motor mounts.
There is a lot of information in the TJ Resources and DIY sections of this forum which will assist you in creating a list...

Parts that wear out or rust away: shocks, steering damper, hard brake and fuel lines, multiple grounding points, seat fold&tumble bushings, all of the suspension bushings. Coolant system-water pump, hoses, radiator cap, thermostat, coolant flush + backflush the heater core. Flush and refill the brake fluid. Pull and check/clean/lubricate, one at a time, the trans skid plate-to-frame mounting bolts. Same with each body mount bolt. Any bolts that are replaced or returned to service should have either red or blue thread locker applied (as indicated by the field service manual) or anti-seize lube if no thread locker.
