Maintenance Update:
Tire rotation and brakes are not happening today. The lug nuts are so incredibly torqued on, I could only loosen about 1 per tire. I can rock the Jeep with the lug wrench, and even stand on a breaker bar, and nothin doin. My 300 foot-pound impact wrench doesn't touch it.
I'm going to take it back to the place that cranked those lug nuts on and try to get a free rotation from them, since it is impossible to loosen them myself.
Spark plugs are done! Simple $2 copper cores and it purrs like a kitten.
I have the rear axle on jack stands and am attempting to turn the star wheels without taking the brakes apart. (which I can't do without being able to remove the wheels anyway.) Will report back on that in a bit. Need to do some research and find some pictures of it so I can work blind. Can't see into the adjustment hole at all so have to feel in there with a screwdriver.
Edit: here's a good e-brake adjustment thread by Diggerfreek:

This is only about a $60-80 part, and it will be a lot easier to change out than a wheel bearing. My front axle CV boots are in great shape, too. Here's the how-to thread for changing the head of the front driveshaft, in case anyone is interested.
