So its that time of year we go see family in Kansas. In the past we flew but its way too expensive now for the 4 of us and in my opinion not a great experience: airport B.S., wu-tang flu, waiting, rude ppl, waiting some more, lugging 2 kid car seats, etc. Im beginning to seriously consider driving to Kansas with my wife, 3yr old and a new born. Lord have mercy on me, please!
I did the math, 5.7L V8 at 18mpg, 3200 mile round trip, 177 gallons of fuel +/- thats about $600 in fuel. Not so bad.
My options are the lifted 96 FZJ80 with 277k on the clock, or the 14 Sequoia with 155k on the clock. Im leaning toward the Sequoia. I had fresh road tires put on a few months ago and did a oil change. I think I need to find a proper full size spare tire as I got newer 20'' rims/tires and need to check what spare is under there but what else would you all recommend I do to the truck? PM? Spare parts? I have 4 weeks to prep. Could use some advise as its my first major road trip with the Sequoia. Here is a recent pic of the Tree with the newer tundra 20'' rims and fresh tires. I have no PM history other than a ball joint on one side from the PO and its new to me. Suggestions?
