I think with that age and price rust and the motor should be your two main worries, I wouldnt worry to much about the regular maintenance stuff (light bulbs, vac lines) As long as the oil only has oil in it and the underbody and rockers dont have too much rust your good to go!

X2 on all above but I would like to add that you check out the 4 wheel drive for a worn chain. I got my Heep for a great price and it had no rust anywhere but the chain needed to be changed with 194,000 miles on it...Tj

I answered his question.
If you are really good, you can probably hold the rear output, and turn the front back and forth to judge chain stretch.
The t-case should be in 4wd for this to work, and you need to know how much slack is NORMAL. practice with a known good t-case first.
And the above isn't sure fire way of checking, the chain could skip under load, which you can't simulate in the yard under the jeep.
