So I am going to be driving my Maxima down from the California Bay Area to Las Vegas - 545 miles each way .

I recently changed plugs, coils, coolant, belts... has new suspension and a new clutch/flywheel. Just needs a new O2 sensor which I would be putting this weekend.

So what checklist should I follow before I take off? I drive about 70 miles a day so I think she will be able to handle this quite well at a constant 80 MPH and 4 people who would be singing "99 bottles of beer" all the way...

As long as you are up to date with maintenance, then just top off all fluids, check tire pressure and enjoy the trip.

theres a 60k service check website floating around somewhere

but seems ur good to go
just be sure for things like, starter, alternator, battery are good.

your good to go. I see many get paranoid about their car making it on a long trip, do a check of all major components, do a tune up,check tires, and ride out.

trust me our cars can make a long trip in a average shape, with a tune up, it will be gravy.

bring a set of sockets and jacks with you just in case.
