Check for coolant, P/S, fuel, brake fluid leaks. Replace coolant if not done in the past 2 years. Check rad hoses for any signs of wear. Make sure spare tire is inflated and jack is in the trunk. Put a jug of distilled H20, qt of oil, qt of P/S fluid, funnel, extra spark plug or two (old ones?) in the trunk. Make sure your alignment and tire tread is good. That's all I can think of right now.

well definately get a spare tire, maybe you should get a full sized tire??? just a thought, ya know if you blow a tire half way there, then you gotta run on that tire for a LONG time and plus the recommended speed limit is like 55 MPH right??? so you might wanna think about getting full sized tire and rim form a junk yard, it might do you some good!

...tiewraps, wire, toolbox, small airpress pump, tow rope, flashlight...
Throw spare out, replace that CASE in just lots of $$$$
Btw. If the t rip is 6000miles over the ocean, precautionary measures to take??

And be sure to bring a blow up doll to place in the passenger seat so you can drive in the carpool lane. And hey, the doll can also keep you company too.
At Denny's I mean!!

It sucks when you get halfway through Texas and your tranny craps out.
