Congratulations, and welcome to the club!

As for maintenance, change the fluids if they haven't been changed recently like the transmission fluid, transfer case fluid, or the differential fluid. Your suspension may be wearing out, so it might need replacing in the future. A big problem is usually rust, but you don't have any! So other than that just do normal car maintenance and replace things like brakes or oil gaskets if needed.
