So let me throw the question out to the experienced Boy Scouts out there. What stuff should I be checking and/or replacing. I have a handle on obvious i.e.. oils, greases, fluids and coolant, but I know there are others.
Also, what spare parts, tools should we pack along with a large credit card with a high limit.
Thanks in advance

Rick short list.
Ball joints
Bearings
Fluids
Tires (age & wear)
Things to carry
V1
Air pump for a possible flat
Can of fix a flat
Cash for the hookers
Small tool set. Enough to get by. I don't think you will pull a trans on the side of the road.
For the drive I'm packing an alternator water pump, some plenum gaskets, and a couple of serp belts. Plus these items don't take a lot of room in the car.
I figure those will be the expendable items that can easily be replaced that are not easy to come by from a parts store in BFE.
