I am getting ready to take a 300 mile road trip with my 66 BJ8. I just bought the car last January and have not driven it for more than 20 miles at a time. The club members suggested a few parts to bring along just in case. My question is since I do not know the car very well and since It has been a long time since I worked on a car should I take the trip? I do not want to take a boot full of parts and tools. The car was restored in 1996 and has been a gem since I bought it. Any thoughts?

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/iagree.gif and your Hagarty card, if you have one.
The AH Owners Association of British Columbia has a comprehensive checklist for just this sort of thing, if you’re really ambitious you might get through ½ of the list.
Somewhere on the BCF site, someone has a signature about there being a fine line between a hobby and mental illness. Obviously someone at the AHOAof BC is suffering some sort of obsessive AH disorder…

Hi sjgcpa, that link dar100 provided is the one I have tried to follow, it is very complete. I'm just north of you, also have a 66 BJ8, also got it last winter, also have been going through it since then and have just started my test drive short road trips. Don't forget to check your tire date codes, my Michelin XZXs with what appears to be 90% plus tread are all 9 years old! Not good /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif Read some of the electrical and fuse threads here at BCF and consider taking basic electrical equipment, wire, fuses, tape with you along with your other basic tools. The shorter trips should shake out any obvious problems, leaks, glitches etc, good luck /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

The AHOA of BC list is thorough...
About the only thing I'd also suggest would be a couple of bricks or such-like for "chocking" the wheels should you need to jack it up....
