Almost ready for my cross country round trip from Arizona to Washington DC area and back. Including driving around Maryland and Northern Virginia total mileage should be about 5500 miles. I now have 112,000 on my 2002 2 WD. In preparing I have replaced coolant, upper and lower hoses, front rotors and races, front brake pads, front wheel bearings and seals, differential oil. I saved a ton doing these myself. At shop had the transmission flushed and new plugs (plugs had high mileage so didn't want to risk breaking one off, especially that rear one that you have to go through wheel well to get at). Still have to flush brake fluid. The only thing else I can think of is maybe replacing the serpentine belt. Any other suggestions?
