Here is one from Canada. The guy that posted this is the service manager for a Jeep dealership (sorry but the intervals are in metric)

if my conversion is right going 5000 km equals the 3000 miles the FSM shows for oil changes and diffs, thats kinda pointless on the T case as they clearly state 30,000 miles not 12,000 miles.  12,000 seems rather quick on the tranny also.  but then again the only thing it can hurt to change out more often is your wallet.  perhaps the climate difference is a factor in the quicker change intervals.
 
I looked in my FSM again and it has maintanance schedules A and B and they go over everything but manual tranny fluid changes.  I currently have 17,000 on the tranny and 10,000 on the T case.  Maybe I'll just change them both out and be safe and go on.

It also depends on how much water and mud you go through with your Jeep.  I usually change the my tranny fluid about twice a year more because of mud and water and not because of mileage.  I only put about 12,000 km on my Jeep a year.

Yeah that does seems kind of low.  I do usually change my oil at every 5,000 km anyways and well my diffs are about 6 times a year because of mud and water.
