Lightbulb Planning a road trip (FL to TX)

My wife and I are doing a 1000-mile road trip from Orlando, FL to Houston, TX on Labor Day weekend. We'll be taking the G, and I just want to make sure that everything in the car is on the up and up as far as maintenance goes. Here's what has been done so far:
  • Replaced differential gear oil (Jan. 27)
  • Drained & refilled tranny fluid (Feb. 17)
  • Flushed engine coolant (Mar. 1)
  • Replaced A/C filter (Mar. 23)
  • 5W-30 non-synthetic oil change (June 15)
  • Rotated tires and balanced wheels (June 28)
The car currently has 60,200 miles but probably right before our trip, it will have 61,000 miles. I'm planning on riding my 19's for the trip (I still have my stock 17's in storage), and I will get an alignment done beforehand. I will also check my brake pads (fronts are Hawk HPS, rears are OEM).

If there's anything else you suggest I should consider in prepping my car for the road trip, please let me know. TIA

If you don't have a clear bra or leather bra... tape up your car to protect from bugs guts and rock chips.
