I will soon be driving 1900 miles in my beast across the great United States to do some training in Albuquerque . I am curious what you guys think would be good ideas to bring for my car. I'm already set with oil but I feel like I should be more prepared. Any suggestions? As always thanks for the help!

I traveled from Fort Hood to Fort Lee and subsequently, from Fort Lee to Fort Carson with just food and 600 lbs of my stuff, lol. No issues, just have your tire seal and spare oil. Keep to the main highways and you'll be fine. But, crossing Texas and any other desolate stretches of highway, you might want to have some spare fuel, if you want to be cautious. I even raced a Yamaha R1 in Minnesota and beat him out at the top end... all while I was thinking about the 600 lbs of "ballast" in my car, lmao.
As a former LandRover/Range Rover owner, AAA is indespensible.
I just did 1200 miles last week roaming California last week. I've done 2000 miles multiple times zipping back and forth between CA and my old home state of Colorado. And I've zipped across AZ and NV countless times.
I do keep a 7 gallon jerry can of extra fuel inside a large Pelican case in the trunk. The Pelican case is ratcheted down to the anchor points. I have thought about adding a spare tire to the kit, but have yet to do so. I think I would be more likely to run out of fuel before getting a flat.
1900 miles is nothing if your Beast is in top condition. She will chew up the miles with ease.

I've always wanted to do this with a couple of buddies. Probably no way in hell I'd do it now with my 3 small children. Maybe when my boys get to be teenagers.
