So its nearly 30,000 mile maintenance time and the question can up what needs to be done. I've changed the oil & filter, replaced the air filter and cleaned the intake area. I changed the front and rear differential fluid and rotated the tires. What's next? The scheduled maintenance plan I had from Chrysler originally includes the following:

* lubricate from drive shaft fitting
* lubricate outer tie rod ends

Any thoughts on this? Anything else that needs to be lubricated or greased? Any preference on lubrication type?

Well, I just do what Chrysler calls for. And anything aftermarket that has a grease fitting--which is just about everything aftermarket. As for the driveshaft fitting and tie rod ends, not certain why Chrysler would say to do these since there aren't any grease fittings on the stock hardware. And, my '07 maintenance procedures (from the owner's manual) do not mention either one.

There are no grease fittings anywhere! I looked yesturday to lube everything but there was nothing to be found.

I have not found any grease fitting either. I imagine something needs greased or lube'd but not sure what. Other than lubrication, any other maintenance worth doing @ 30K?

Trans fluid and filter? Transfer case fluid?

I don't know if you included this when you mentioned changing oils, but since you're at 30K, have you changed your transfer case and transmission fluids? There's a good set of write-ups on Project-JK.

(I'm only thinking of this because now I'm at 60K and need to do the same thing. )
