you take your vehicle off-road through
deep sand, mud or water, perform these
inspections every day:
•Check ball joints and dust covers
•Check brake lines and hoses
•Check brake pads/disc
•Check differential oil
•Check drive shaft boots
•Check engine air filter
•Check nuts and bolts on chassis and
body
•Check steering linkage and boots
•Check transfer case oil (4WD models)
•Check transmission fluid or oil
•Lubricate propeller shaft (4WD
models)

Maintenance Log53

Front and Rear Differential Oil
Inspect or replace at specified intervals.
When performing inspections, check each
component for signs of leakage. If you
discover any leakage, have it repaired by a
qualified technician immediately.
Fuel Lines and Connections,
Fuel Tank Band and Fuel Tank
Vapor Vent System Hoses
Visually inspect for corrosion, damage,
cracks, and loose or leaking connections.
Tighten connections or replace parts as
necessary.
Fuel Tank Cap Gasket
Visually inspect for cracks, deterioration
and damage and replace if necessary.
Nuts and Bolts on Chassis and
Body
Re-tighten the seat-mounting bolts and
front/rear suspension member retaining
bolts to specified torque.
Propeller Shaft
Lubricate the propeller shaft spiders and
slide yokes with lithium-base chassis
grease and the double cardan joint with
molybdenum-disulfide lithium-base chassis
grease, and re-torque the bolt. Only a
qualified technician should perform this
operation
Radiator and Condenser
Inspect for debris, corrosion and signs of
damage. Have any problem repaired
immediately by a qualified technician.
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified intervals. Install new
plugs of the same type as originally
equipped. A qualified technician should
perform this operation.
Steering Gear Box
Inspect for signs of leakage. If you
discover any leakage, have it repaired
immediately by a qualified technician.
Steering Linkage and Boots
With the vehicle stopped, check for
excessive freeplay in the steering wheel.
Inspect the linkage for bending and
damage and the dust boots for
deterioration, cracks and damage. Replace
any damaged parts. A qualified technician
should perform these operations.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated according to the
instructions in the
Owner’s Manual.When
rotating tires, check for damage and
uneven wear. Replace if necessary.
Transfer Case Oil
Inspect or replace at specified intervals.
When performing inspections, check for
signs of leakage. If you discover any
leakage, have it repaired by a qualified
technician immediately.
