Welcome to Cherokeeforum! You've pretty much covered the basics as far as maintenance goes. 
The tranny filter is a breeze, just drop the transmission pan and replace the filter, use the new gasket with the kit, tighten her down and re-fill and your set to go! Remember to check the fluid level at running temp with the truck running. I'd flush the differentials and t-case while your at it.
Anything else just ask!
