So My Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7 4WD has 125,000 miles (195,000km) and I've bought it at 165,000 km with not much info on previous maintenance but in very good condition. I've just had a transmission oil change done at the dealership, changed the back sway bark links with Moog ones and added a Moog front upper right control arm.

Now I have all this maintenance to do and want to spend around 300 every 2 weeks.. In what order would you perform them? Maybe I can save some costs on labor if done in a specific order?

1- Transfer Case Fluid Change
2- Front & Rear Differential Fluid Change
3- Engine Coolant Flush
4- Add Fastman Ported Throttle Body
5- Replace PCV Valve
6- Change the Serpentine Belt (Accessory drive belt (s)
7- Change/Clean the EGR Valve
8- Change/Cleane the IAC Valce
9- Sparkplug Change (Champion instead of NGK I put 10,000 miles ago)
10- Replace Engine Air Cleaner Fliter
11- Replace Iginition Coils?
12- Replace Cabin Filter
13- Replace TPS Sensor?
14- Replace MAP Sensor?
15- Replace PCM?
16- Add a CatchCan?
17- Inspect the CV Joints
18- Replace Tie Rod Ends and/or Boot Seals?
19- Replace Shocks/Struts/Springs
20- Add AirRam Powerwire?
21- Add MagnaflowCaback Exhaust System (Complete, does it include the catalytic converter?)
22- Change Front Sway Bar Bushings
23- Change Front Sway Bar Links
24- Add Michelin LTX A/S2 Tires
25- Add Power Stop Rotor Discs
26- Add Wagner Thermo Quiet Brake Pads
27- Change Calipers?
28- Paint Calipers Red with White on Jeep, or Plastic Brembo?
29- Fix Mirror/Dashboard Annoying Noises

What else would you change/replace/clean/upgrade on a Jeep with 125,000 miles, I'd like to keep it another 10 years. Thank you.

Do maintenence and replace worn or broken parts first, then do modifications.

I'll send you a FSM for your WJ if you send me a Private Message with your email address. It has the recommended maintenance/service schedule (in months/miles) for the vehicle.
The items above:#=No EGR on the WJ; *=No PCM replacement needed unless damage indicated.
You see my schedule numbers above in bold, next to yours.

Very interesting, good stuff, just one thing mine is a WK, not a WJ. Does anything change?

Check that info in the PM. I don't think the WK has the EGR system either, but IMO it's still about the same. Routine maintenance first, add-ons later. On our WJ the cabin air filter was optional, or could be added later. It's nice to have, and should be kept clean, the same as a furnace filter in your home. It seems to get dirty more often than the air filter, or JMO.

125,000 miles on a GC Laredo 4.7 4WD, in the last 6 months I've changed the engine coolant, differential fluids, transfer case fluid, changed the PVC valve, cleaned the throttle body and IAC valve.

I also did some bs? Emissions fuel injection tuning stuff, ac recharge, rear stabilizing links change, front right lower control arm change, anything else I should be thinking of doing? Maybe power steering fluid change and brake fluid change or not? Thanks.

Change, don't flush, the trans fluid & filter if you haven't already. The serpentine belt is about due for changing- check the underside for cracks.
Yes, like all fluids, the P.S. fluid and brake fluid do need changing when they get old or too many miles.

Forgot to mention I've changed the transmission oil, serpentine belt looks good.
