My car's making a funny noise up front...what's wrong with it?

********** Just kidding **********

I've got a Jeep with a 4.0L I-6 (1999) 4x4. It has about 60k miles on it. For a '99 it seems everything under the hood looks about the same as cars did in 1980. Questions: Does this thing have a timing belt or chain and do I need to replace it any time soon? Does this thing have sealed wheel bearings or will I need to pack the bearings soon? I think the distributor on this thing still has points and a rotor. I haven't looked yet but did replace the plugs and wires and the setup looked like something from the old days...so was just wondering if I should get some...
