Poor man's overhaul?

I was wondering what all I should do to this 93 YJ I just got as far tune-ups go. So far I'm thinking:

1) New belts/hoses
2) Flush and replace fluids in transmission, radiator, motor, diffs, T-case
3) New plugs, wires, distributor cap
4) Air filter, fuel filter, oil filter (obviously)
5) Hit every grease zirk I can find
6) The battery is pretty new
7) Just got a clutch last year

If I'm missing anything please let me know, the rig's got 185,000 miles on it but still purs like a kitten. I just want it to stay that way.
 

#3 replace the rotor also since you have the cap off.
 
Sounds like a nice mechanical list, however, I would also check for rust on the frame. I'm painting some of my frame with POR-15. That stuff is like black rock when it cures.
Also, my Jeep's shackles were bowed and rode horridly. New bushings and shackles made a huge difference. Just thought I'd throw that out there, too.
I hope you enjoy your Jeep!
 

I looked under and around it a few months ago and it didn't have even a sign of rust. It's been in the Central Valley of California since new. My wife's uncle is the first and only owner and has taken extra good care of it. He swears up and down it's only been "off road" 2 or 3 times. He bought it to go skiing in tahoe...yuppie. :lol:
