Going on a long trip Sunday

This is the first trip out of the county in years. What all do you suggest I check? It's a 90 4 Runner 250k 4WD 4.88 gears auto lockers 33 swampers. Sounds like fun to me! I'm taking all my tools because they are always in there,not because I expect to need them. No slack in the front end,bearings are good,all fluids are good,trailer lights even work.

belts/hoses?

i useally keep the old ones w/the spare tire.

if you submerge your axles, i would re-grease them. full tune up, and filters.

grab your helmet and pack a camera.
