Road trip tips
Hey guys I'm heading out on a 1000 mile road trip in my 1997 cherokee country from Illinois to Wyoming in a few months. I was wondering If there are any major concerns/precautions I should take so I get don't screw up. I already flushed the trans and engine fluid and replaced it, going to bleed brakes soon, and just going over a few loose ends. Any tips/mechanical issues I should worry about?

^^ Exactly what those guys said. If your Jeep's been maintained and in good shape there's nothing stopping you from making such a trip, especially on a paved road lol. However a lot of basics are frequently overlooked.

Yeah as long as all the maintenance is up to date its good to go.I would carry some extra fluids a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher just to be on the safe side.And make sure your spare tire is good and full of air and a working jack.
