I will add to this thread as I pack up.
Being one not to spend money on stuff unless I have to, so I have money to travel and owning a 90 LWB Auto (Colorado) heres what I have done to mine to prep in advance of a trip.
OMU Shocks and springs
255/85/16 BFG M/T's
Outback Drawers (found second hand, very nice but very expensive new)
Swapped one battery for a Leisure Battery and fitted basic isolaters on the batteries (cost £16)
Fitted Bed (I sleep inside)
An old Laptop on a RAM mount with a Garmin Bluetooth GPS running Olaf and nRoute, also a Garmin 1490 as a backup and to route in Spain.
CB fitted into the spare din slot
Small second hand Engel fridge in front footwell for cold Beer.
Home made thermal blinds for all the windows (really worth making these)
Maint
Cam belt change (use genuine belt) very simple or cheap to fit.
Rebuilt starter motor (kit from Roughtrax)
Replace U/J's 3 off (again from Roughtrax)
New Radiator. (very important in a Auto)
Check / replace brake pads (front calipers tend to seize, so make sure they are free)
Replace oil / filter every 5K at most
Replace air filters often if dusty (Milners Offroad are cheap for air filters)
My 90 in Zagora last year.
