Prepping for trip - advice?
Brent, Have you checked to see if you have a swing
radiator? If you do or don't I would take a set of
belts, oil for both engines, 2 qts genny & 4 qts
engine oil, gravel roads? a spare sealed beam,
Good Insurance acceptable in Mexico, I like duct tape,
no kidding!, and a coil o clothesline multi-strand wire,
some fuel & radiator hose clamps, a small digital
multimeter, your manual and diagrams, a few small
tools, filters have been mentioned in case you run
into crumy fuel (PeMex), money for bribes in case you
come across some crumy cops, tire gage that reads
well in your tire pressure range.

Pack like you may need it and chances are you won;t.
Don't pack that way and chances are you will.

Above all take the will to have a great time going,
being there, then returning, bring back with you the
experience of a lifetime & have a ball doing it.
