I would check or have checked:
All hoses
All belts
Brakes
Fluids including, brake, clutch, trans, diffs and transfer case
Lube chassis and drivetrain
Replace filters (Gas, Air, take an oil with you for later)
Timing Belt (if time for it)
Tires including balancing and alignment
Windshield Wipers
Plugs, wires, timing, etc.
And take spares of older belts & hoses if you don't replace now
Well thats a start!

Otherwise, everything AndroT100 said is what I would check and/or replace.
Where in Montana are you headed? I went to school at MSU in Bozeman for a couple years. Montana's a great place.
