Rep Power: 0 road trip
Yeah, so in May I'm embarking on a 2000 mile road trip from Louisiana to Los Angeles, CA for E3. My car has never been on a trip that far, so I've got some questions.
What should be done before a trip like this? And we're estimating a 24 hour drive straight there, but we plan on crashing in Arizona for a break. Is my car going to last that long without overheating or anything like that? lol
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Rep Power: 251 check all fluids such as tranny, motor oil, brake, coolant, and if tires are safe.
if you have an short ram intake, gonna be heat soaking like a ****. expect highway rocks n **** as well. and if your car is lowered, that may be a challenge. bring ur spare tire and a GOOD jack (not the OEM one) along in case all else fails.
pretty much think about "rather be safe than sorry"
and roll down your windows in california tint on front side windows = illegal

Rep Power: 0 Ohhhh forgot about the tint. Yeah, I'm bringing a better jack, a set of tools and an extra battery, because my battery tends to die sometimes (thanks DH-Racing for the pulley!!).
And TP, ohhhh yeah! Especially since there's another guy and a girl coming along, lol.
