I serviced my WJ 2003 (CRD) about 4k ago, I used the owners manual and great info I had picked up from Birtys. The owners manual says there are two schedules A & B (B is the one most driving styles apparently fall into) and different mileages recommend different things. Also check out http://www.wjjeeps.com/service/maintenance_wj.htm. (http://www.wjjeeps.com/service/maintenance_wj.htm.) Pretty much I did:
*Changed Oil Filter
*Changed Oil
*Air filter
*Checked brakes and lines and changed both front pads and discs
*Checked the accessory drive belt
*Checked tyre pressures and tread (also recommended to rotate them)
*Topped up brake cylinder, power steering, coolant and washers
Things I brought but havent done yet:
*Front and rear axel fluid (not sure what sealant i need to use when I put the diff covers back on!)
*Fuel filter (scared i'll end up with air in the system and not sure how to bleed it)
Other things the schedule recommends:
*Lubricate all points
*Replace transfer case oil (quadra-trac only at 50k, 100k)
*Drain and replace brake fluid (100k)
*Drain and refill auto transmission and replace filter (100k and i think this is a specialist thing..but could be wrong!)
*Drain and replace coolant system (160k)
Hopefully if i've missed anything or put incorrect information, someone else can jump in

If it has a sketchy service history, change everything so you're starting from scratch, then you know what's been done.

that's why servicing the consumables yourself you know that it is done,
