Belt tensioner, always replace the tensioner when changing the belt.
Idler puller isn't a bad idea as well
Transfer case.
Brakes fluid.
Grease.
Use the right fluids.

Belt

I would follow Jbrew and replace the Belt (with a Gatorback) AND tensioner AND the Idler Pully. I did my belt at 100K with the Tensioner but not the Pully. Do to a new whine i'll be doing the pully this weekend. I would add the other items to the list as well except the Shocks. @ 84K their still new.
