Open your hatch, put all that stuff in the back of the truck. Go in reverse and hit the breaks therefore sending all the stuff you had in there out. Go to liquor store. Buy beer. Fill truck. Bonvoyage my friend.

careful what you ask for some may suggest you tow a whole xj behind you but I dont think that is a must just have a spare engine/trans. LOL. J/K Sounds like you got most everything I would add antifreeze, and a tow strap instead of chain to the list. Dont overthink it too much, just have go have fun.

A list of junkyards and part stores along the route you plan to take. A toolbox with standard tools. A gps or laptop if you have one.
