Default Changing coolant, what else should be replaced while doing this?

I have a 1997 cherokee sport. I bought it a couple months ago and have been doing alot of maintenance to it. My next thing before winter comes is to replace antifreeze. What should I replace when doing that? Should I replace the thermostat? What else?
Thanks in advance!

Flush it thoroughly

Use distilled water to mix with anti freeze!
