Default Replacing all fluids in wj

My wj is at 170000 miles. I bought it when it had 168,000. I'm wondering what all fluids should I change? Iv done the oil, brake, and power steering. What else should be done? Trans possibly? If anyone has a how-to for a complete fluid change that would be great!

What is this part? The rod that connects them has play but the one in the rear doesn't.

Are you refering to the drive shafts? That is your transfer case. If your front drive shaft has play (wiggle w/about 1/8" of movement) then your front output shaft bearing is either going or has already gone bad. My WJ has 120k and mine already went bad. It is kind of a pain in the as* to replace as it requires splitting open the transfer case.

That doesn't sound like a cheap fix : (
