2002 Explorer 4x4 XLT preventative maintenance

Hello! I just bought my girlfriend a 2002 Explorer XLT 4x4 with 75k miles for a reasonably good price ($8k). Very nice looking truck. The original owner seemed to have taken good care of it (scheduled oil changes, clean interior, no accidents, no major issues). I've got a Jeep Grand Cherokee and have used this forum for a few years and find it to be incredibly helpful. So I've been reading posts on the Explorers for a couple hours today on some common issues - Fuel filters, transmission, transfer case seem to be the larger ones.

Are there any suggested additional preventative maintenance tasks I should do? Certain areas to keep an eye on (ie radiator, injectors, 4x4 parts, belts, battery, et cetera)? Things to replace even before issues exist? Additives or aftermarket addons?

I'd like to get a minimum 150k miles out of the truck and am willing to put in the effort, just don't have any history on these vehicles and would welcome any suggestions.
Thanks!!!!
