i agree that's a pretty good check list if you really want to bring some hose with u various sizes just to stay on the safe side

Went to payson and back in my single cam ek with 82k miles this past weekend and not one problem. I was so scared of a blowout cause the tires are on the dry side. Getting new tires tomorrow thank God.

The most overlooked issue nowdays is Tire Pressure. No one checks them any more. back in the day, people would perform an air press check every week. It is the one single thing you can do to your vehicle to increase fuel milage the most. I inflate to 40 - 42psi on road trips. I even logged my milage in city one month. Trust me, inflate your tires to 2 psi under your max and you will see a huge diference in road feel, accel, milage, rolling cruise, ect.

Depending on Ambient temp, road surface temp, and tire cond. use good judjment when inflating your tires.

Be safe.

remember to change from winter air in your tires to summer air and visa versa come winter again.
