Default Re: Road trip: making it there and back

I didn't do much maintenance other than an oil change, grease check and few tools. I thought if it's going to go, it will go. I did add an accessory cigar plug under the seat, my truck is still 6v and that is enough to charge my phone and power a few needs. I needed a radio so weeks before found a cheap used 80's cathedral style radio, tapping the power feed found it can run off 6v too. Also installed a direct line to the speaker from my phone as well as installing a bluetooth speaker. It worked and had tunes and local weather updates (much needed later). My paperwork stays in a Prince Albert tin so the interior style all fits together. Realized I needed a map when I'm out of phone signal so did a little photoshop work overlaying a Google map onto a Phillips 66 map. also copied the driving directions too. Kept my flashlight next to me, it had a red side light I use for hand signals at night.
