The deal with the timing chain is that you never know when it is going to go. If it goes and you are out wheeling/ high rev you could damage your valves and pistons. CRUNCH!!! A timing set will run you about $30.00. It is super easy to install once you get to it and even that is not that tough if you have a day to do it. Plus you learn a lot about the front end of your rig.
My advice, replace the timing set and check the plugs +wires, replace the diff fluid and tranny fluid and transfer case fluid, repack the hubs and grease all the serviceable fittings, new coolant and brake fluid pretty much anything liquid on the rig, if it is old, should be replace or serviced.
$30.00 timing set and a day of work or a couple hundred bucks in heads and valve job + labor. That is an easy one.
