97' GRND- W/ High mileage. Long distance travel tips?

[Tmike1158]

Vehicle: 97' Grand. I-6. 4L.
ODO: 171,000
I am planning on travelling 1200 miles in one shot in about a month. Pretty flat drive, not expecting anything off trail until I get there. I have been up to date on all tune- ups/ oil changes etc.

My question is: Are there any 'classic' high mileage grand cherokee problems that I should know about? Especially when facing roughly 24 hours of drive time at about 60-70 mph?

I plan on getting new tires. New fan belt. An oil change and tune up. Should I be doing anything else?

Any help is appreciated.

Enjoy your day,
Tmike

Fan belt, complete fluid change, air filter, check u-joints, thats about it. Mines going strong, i recently noticed a tick when i first start up the engine though.. Not cool at all. I haaate that sound.
