you should also take a good look at all of your belts and hoses and replace any that look worn to avoid a broken belt or over heating while traveling. Also check the light above your lisence plate, if you are out of state, cops will use that light out for an excuse to pull you over and check you out. Also if you are traveling in an area that is secluded and/or in winter conditions, make an emergency kit for your trip. It should contain food, water, candles, flashlight, blanket ect. You should also carry traction devises depending on where you are traveling.
