Question Pre-Flight Check. T-minus 22 hrs.

Hey guys, how's it going? Tomorrow I'm departing on a 3 hour road trip. Are there any specific things you all recommend I should check before tomorrow?

Thanks guys,
Anthony the Auto-Idiot

Tires inflated to proper pressure, gas, money, keys, money to give to wife or kids once you stop. :-) 3 hour trip isn't all that much for a vehicle, should be fine assuming your truck/vehicle runs ok and isn't prone to overheating.....

Reach under and check that the castle nuts on your tierods have cotter pins and are more than finger tight. Sh*t you not, I dont know how many times someone comes in for a tire rotate and I find that I can spin the castle nuts off with my fingers.
