You forgot your +1
:lol:
I have little hand cleaners for everyone
windshiels cleaner
towels
looking at the weather on the trip, ranges from mid 30's to the 90's
I wish I could get a USB 2.0 to male 3.5 jack, but no one seems to carry them, that way I could listen to Pandora. but I guess XM/CD's/ and a old ipod will do.

Don't want to get bugged by ICE again. :rolleye2:
There's also a checkpoint along I-10 before you hit El Paso; it's not just AZ.

Green Card! Seriously, we were hassled at a checkpoint inside NM by an officer that told us about all the problems the US has with illegal German immigrants. Claudia did not have her green card or passport with her (who thought we would need it since we did not leave the country) and the officer was an a**.

That would have been outside Demming, NM. Been there, done that. Hence my comment ^^.
don't forget a small cooler, we have lost our trailer for this trip

We are leaving Millington/Memphis this AM and heading to Wichita but...........I'm getting concerned with what I am seeing and hearing on the weather channel ....... When do we need to come up with a plan "B?
I am worried about snow in the mountains of Colorado, but all we can do, is play it as we are delt it

The one we bought is still in the car, but it looks like it will expire before we can use it again. :(

A flathead and phillips screwdriver for an OEM radio to OEM radio swap-out.
A Mom at home who can pack, wrap and ship via fed-ex a replacement OEM radio that just happens to be in your tool box/bin or shelve collecting dust some one of your new found friends can listen to some tunes and book on CD's on the trip home after his/mine broke . (Thanks Kerry)
Plenty of liquid car wash, towels and a bucket.
Quarters for both the laundry mat and carwash.
Zip ties, cable wraps/ties - you know those nylon things that hold stuff together like your bumper, lip and left front fender liner after you hit (at 70 mph) that coyote trying to cross the interstate . We are OK, but I’ll need to do a little repair work.
Anything else?

yep...... about mile marker 197 on east bound I-40 in OK about 815 last night .... sort of like the deer on our drive but the grass was tall and I didn't see him until he left the median grasses and he short across the road trying to make it across before I got him.........

I'm 1 day from home and we are at my daughter's home in KnoxvilleTN for the night. After a quick oil change in her garage and a good washing, the damage is no more than a few fender buttons, some 3 M tape on the lip, a re-install of the front, under the fender flat and I'll need to fabricate an L bracket to remount the lip onto the bumper in the wheel well...... The coyote got the worst of the deal..... I think he ran right into the fron of my left front tire .........

Add:
Military ID in your wallet as you open it in front of the local smokey to get your driver's license.
If you have a K&N Air Filter .. don't forget the K&N Recharge kit .... you never know when you'll go through a sand storm
Did I mention Zip ties?
