maybe full oil change ,when were the wheel bearings last serviced or checked
fan belts best to replace them now so you know you have the right ones not find out 12 at night in the middle of nowhere
same with spare rad hoses when was the last time the coolant was changed
check suspension over for tension
check unis brakes
do a rad compression test to check for any leaks that may occur
check tension of body mounts
check eng g box mounts
mate had a good idea when he went up he turned his snorkel head around so not to suck dust as much especially when passing roadtrains
gday

Go to PATROL4X4.com and do a search.
I had a huge thread going on how to prepare my patrol for it.
Same principles apply to whatever make you drive.
Cheers
