60K miles and one LONG trip to TX, maintenance advice?

I'd put a new fuel filter on it. Go ahead and change out your TFI and save your current one as a spare.

Check the condition of your belt. If it is looking ragged or has cracks on the ribbed side, like where it goes over the water pump pulley, go ahead and replace it and keep your current one as a spare.

Look at all your water hoses. If they have any swollen spots on them or they are looking sick, change it out.

Pull your front and back wheels and take a look and see how much brake pad you have left. Change them out if they are looking thin.

You might also clean and re-oil your K&N before you go. Don't use too much oil on it because it might get on your mass air wire.

Also, change out the oil and filter on the car before you go. It should be changed out every 3000 miles anyways.

Have fun on your trip.
