That's not quite fair. What you're really saying is you don't need to modify the vehicle for additional capabilities. That much is fair. But there are plenty of things to do to prepare to make a 4000 mile trip successful. Having a maintained vehicle is just the start of it. I suppose if you had a Pelican case of cash and credit cards you could just figure out the rest along the way, but most people would prefer to prepare by taking along some things that will make the trip easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

If you are thinking of sleeping in the vehicle, replace the weatherstripping, at least around the rear tailgate and rear doors.
I got minor frostbite on my cheek last year going on the winter camp for scouts with my son. We slept in the back of my XJ and the weather strip was torn in a few spots. Add in a blizzard and negative temps Fahrenheit.

Well life gets in the way. I had to decide between 2 weeks on St Lucia w the wife or this trip. So I'll guess I'll work on my tan. Still needs to happen just gotta be pushed back. As a consolation prize I'll be going up to Utah twice this summer. That will give me a chance to try out some new parts. It will happen just next fall I guess.
