Not just that, but I'm bringing my solar powered battery backup thingy.

I can see where a funnel might come in handy, but like most of this stuff, it could probably be purchased upon arrival at your destination.

Duct tape, zip ties, head light, a HF breaker bar and impact sockets, torque wrench, and this: http://www.harborfreight.com/301-pc-professional-mechanics-tool-set-69312.html

Oh, and clean the windows (inside and out) before you leave. Cleaning really helps with the glare if you're putting in a bunch of miles after dark.

With vinegar! It cleans years of smoke residue off better than just about anything.

Since this truck is hte single tank variant, that means 16 gallon tank. I'm half expecting to pick up a gas can at wally world to extend our range a little just in case. Worst case, truck gets single digit fuel economy, which brings us to a 100 mile range. Out there, that gets a bit sketchy.

ear buds... make sure to take some ear buds, and have the phone loaded with tunes... just in case the radio craps out, or the exhaust is too loud, or only AM works.

(edited to add: suction cup phone mount, because hands free)

I also agree with the idea of not shipping any more tools than you need, and picking some up at the destination. Then you can either leave them with the in-laws... 'cause you'll need them there next time you visit

Or you bring them home, because... who doesn't need more tools?
