    Sounds like you have your work cut out for you. My wife and I are also moving from Las vegas to San Antonio. She's driving the VX all the way. It has about 110,000 on it but the motor was replaced at 85,000.

    This will be my 2nd x-country drive in the VX. I have 145xxxish original miles, only 30K in the last 5.5 years. We are not terribly excited with this 3000 mile drive, especially pulling the trailer behind the VX

    More project time done. Mounted the farm jack on the roof rack, that was a decent project. Finished wiring up the electric brakes, gonna switch out the genesis for a primus IQ.
    I also broke down all of my aisin hubs, two full sets in the garage for the last few years, just needed cleaned up. They are all in pristine condition, no rebuild needed!
    I will swap those out this weekend pending weather.
    I also hit the jackpot at the yards today, found a foglight switch out of a honda passport! Got the harness and everything! I have only found 4 of these in 6 years! This one will run my foglights....lol.
    Getting closer to being done, zerks, rotate tires and so on. Trailer is already to go, bicycle rack mounted to rear of trailer (had to build a mounting plate and add a receiver with extension to clear the rear spare) I need to take a bunch of pics, figure I will do that once I have the new seat covers and its all loaded up!

    More done today:
    Changed spark plugs, new iridium NGKs.
    Rebuilt and installed Aisin hubs
    Went to change front diff oil, still looked brand new, bright shiny purple! It took an entire bottle to top it off, I have leaking wheel seals on both sides 4 years worth of leaking, not bad, I can handle that.
    Had to drain rear diff, looked like motor oil

    Almost done!
