Thanks for the feedbacks! I wish I was going earlier but I have previous family engagement on the east coast during that time so I wish I can attend the road trip dkl..
Will definitely do a once over and do the cooling and oil change prior to the trip. still have to do the transfer case, diff and one more drain and fill for the trans.
I had the gf drive the X for the first time the other day and she's already told me she'll be in trouble; she was going 50 in a 35 without even realizing it. I told her be careful with the speed as the X is very tricky and without even thinking about it, you're WAY over the limit. Guess I'll have to put some money aside for bail. LOL
