After having it serviced I would check it yourself to make sure level is correct.
    *getting the transfercase oil changed. (suggestions on oil to be used?) This is really easy you should do it yourself.
    *front and rear axel fluid is fine. checked in the last 5k (in fact oil is almost as new!)
    *Air cleaner filter is getting changed.Same thing here this is cake do it yourself
    *Coolant is getting changed (coming into summer) Once again this is easy you should do it yourself
    *thinking upon having the front wheel bearings repacked hmmm..... this one is messy to do yourself, but doable, I would probably just pay to have it done, or do it yourself and have confidence that you took your time and did it correctly
    *Radiator core and air conditioning condenser cleaned and checked.
    *Brake lines & hoses, brake pedal play etc going to be checked.
    *Suspension and steering been checked (getting a 2inch lift soon) Lift it yourself it is very easy
    *Lube body and chassis (i might get this done myself )
    *Lube rear Propeller shaft (sounds kinky....)
    See above ^
