I'm also on ORR, Off Road Rangers, and they're having their annual run on the Mojave Road at the begining of October.

Well, I've been thinking of running the disco on it. I've been on the trail two years ago and it was a lot of fun. Not too dificult but I'm concerned taking the disco so far and on such a long trip, about 150 miles of it are off road.
Here's a map of the run.

Anyways, I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to prepare for such a journey. I've got my cdl working so that's crossed of my list. I changed my plugs and was thinking of changing the wires, which is probably not necessary for the trip.
I've got to get to work on the coolant change and the tranny fluid as well. Any thing else I should do before hand? My DI has 90k on it now. It seems to run fine but I'm concerned on its reliability on this trip, from reading all the posts lately with LR issues.
I'm also thinking of throwing on a set of 245 A/T KO's on in place of the stock BFG Long Trails. Any issues with 245's rubbing on a stock setup?
I'm still not 100% sure that I will make the trip yet, trying to find someone to watch the little ones isn't always easy. Any other ideas of what to do to get her ready would be appreciated. Anyone else run the MR in their Disco? Experiences?
TIA,
Mike
