Do you know anything of the maintenance history on it?
If not then with that many miles I'd go all the way through
spark plugs ( ONLY COPPERs like NGK or Champion)
air filter
check PCV
front and rear diffs ( regular dino works best)
transfer case transmission
coolant ( only use HOAT)

I would say to just keep an eye on the temp gauge while idling. Many electric fans or fan relays die without any notice. I found out the hard way when my fan was crapped. All seemed fine until one time on a warm summer day we left the Liberty running so my daughter could keep cool with the AC while my wife and I ran into the store, came back ~15 minutes later and it was overheating. I shut it down to cool off and then when I started rolling again it really dropped due to forced air.at least my 2 month old daughter was nice and cool.



















Just kidding she was 16 yo.

thanks bert !

Let her know that if that temp gauge ever moves past the midpoint to pull over and shut down immediately...if this engine overheats, things go downhill fast...

Sounds a well-maintained one with fairly low mileage. You'll get more ideas for keeping her in optimum condition.
