I'm going to do it: Cross country trip to from Northeast PA to Los Angeles!

[okyoureabeast]

I've been talking a lot to my parents and trying to figure out the best way to transport myself when I live in Los Angeles this Spring. I've decided that the most effective way would be for me to drive from Pennsylvania all the way to California.

I've made a list of things that I feel need to be replaced prior to my journey in order of importance. Tell me if you guys agree:

1. Flex Discs
2. Center carrier support
3. *4 brake hoses
4. New brake pads
5. Transmission filter
6. Power steering filter
7 . Oil filter
8. Various fluids
9. Timing chain

Things that have already been done by me include:

Coolant/acid flush (done a week ago)
New axles
Replaced oil cooler hoses
Replaced transmission hoses
New trans,motor, and differential mounts
New master cylinder
Valve adjustments done on schedule
Belts replaced summer of 2009.
Fuel filters replaced 2009
and various smaller bits of work like rust/etc.

I'm trying to repair things that I feel would basically explode and leave me stranded somewhere between the Texas desert and Satan's front doorstep.

The mileage as of today is around 351,000. I drive quite regularly from Ithaca all around central New York and finally back to northwestern PA which is roughly a 200 mile drive. Obviously I know that doesn't mean much in terms of driving cross country, but I do feel comfortable about the mechanical well being of my car.

What do you guys think?
