Brakes are another crucial area that I'd take a look at for a long haul. You got the engine covered there, I think. I want to say lube the chassis, but I don't know what that entails on your rig. Also, make sure all the things that need gear oil, are full (axles/tranmission/transfer case).

I would change ALL the fluids - gear oil (tranny/diffs), coolant, brake fluid (just bleed them really well), power steering (note; it takes ATF not power steering fluid), etc. Hopefully, the PO stayed on top of it, but at least you'll know where you're starting from and that there is good quality stuff in there.

Also, all the stuff you normally check before a big trip - windshield wipers, lights, tires, etc
