Preseason prep for vehicles

[cnelk]

I have a Tacoma so I put gas in it.

I thought you just wound those things up with a key

Got 1300 bucks worth of new front end parts an oil change and soon 1200 dollars worth of tires. Should be good

That's what it feels like when you press the "accelerator."

I take a new air filter and cabin filter with me. Knock the dust out of the old one before the trip and mid-trip and replace before the long drive home. Lots of dust where I go, so closing the in cab circulator is important to keep gritty dust from covering everything.

Thermostat throttle. Set it and it'll get there...

All you have to do is turn the key.

I make sure I have this years stickers of everything I'm "running" on the vehicle so everyone knows its a waste of time to hunt anywhere close to my chariot.


And Little Debbie snacks, I make sure I'm well stocked.

Kryptonite for a Tacoma.

No way man, Toyotas need all the gas, especially since they need WOT to avoid getting tickets for impeding traffic.

Meh hunting season isnt any different than the rest of the year.

Give the spare an eyeball to see if its lookin scary. Maybe check the air in it if you are feeling spunky. That lil spare tire winch isnt froze up is it? Remember where you stashed the lug nuts for a steel rim? There still a lock in your bumper for the spare??? If so knock that fawker off before it screws you..

Otherwise I dont do anything but toss a toolbox in the truck come the wet season.

With Nevada seasons kicking off today I'm scrambling to ensure my jeep is in tip top shape to not only make the drive but to endure any condition two track I might encounter.

I'm a huge proponent of enough traction so tires (and chains in the snow) are easy checks (yet expensive to replace).

Today I'm focus on everything getting new fluids. Diffs, transmission, transfer case and of course oil. Time consuming but relatively cheap piece of mind

What am I missing? What do you do for your preseason vehicle check up?

Gas up and go for the most part. It is not an epic challenge to drive a few states over and hit some two tracks etc. Keep up with basic maintenance though the year.
