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! :D

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 mofo. expect highway rocks n shit 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 :tdown:

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.

Everything above mentioned and a credit card with a decent limit, just in case!
