I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee with 132K miles.  I have maintained this vehicle pretty well over the 4 years that I have had it.  One thing I have not done anything with is the radiator hoses or coolant.  I have had no issues in this area with the vehice.  My question is should I go ahead and change the hoses and drain the coolant? Also, with regards to the coolant, should I just drain the radiator and re-fill of should a do a full flush?
Thanks for any advice.

i'd flush it and replace the hoses, with the milage that you got on it, it's probably a good idea
