Any tips for maintenance at 60,000mi?

I just turned over 60,000 miles on my 2002 KJ sport (3.7L). I was looking at my manual, and saw that using schedule B has a lot of maintenance I have not performed.
I do not do a large amount of off roading, and a mix of highway and around town driving. I've had the ball joints replaced (for the second time only a month ago- for the recall, they were in good shape).
I am religious about changing the oil (5-w30) every 3000, and do it myself. I am not comfortable or have a big enough garage to do a lot of the maintenance.
I am thinking of going to my dealership (which has been very good- and reasonable- believe it or not) to have the more involved maintenance done.

Any advice on the following maintenance recommended for 60k miles?

-spark plug replacement
-PCV valve
-Front and rear axle fluids ( I assume they mean differentials)
- Automatic transmission fluid
- drive belt
- transfer case fluid

Thanks in advance for your help.

If youve not done any of that, I would do it or get it done. :wink:

I believe thats about all you would need to do though. Check the radiator fluid before winter really hits?

Maybe run some injector cleaner through it? :wink:

If you have the means and place to do the oil, you could handle the rest of that work yourself to. It would certainly save you a bundle of $ and give you some real quality time w/ your Jeep. I would definately do the items you listed though. Switch to some good synthetics and extend out your service intervals while you are at it. :wink:
