thought Id share my shortlist of things to do before the trip...
install soft top
install auto tranny skid (been removed since lift install)
install OEM rear sway links up front (running 4-6" Tera sway links currently, they arent too long, just mounted to the stock locations and have clearance issues at full flex)
check SWR reading of CB antenna setup
check fluids, and put tools in JK
pack spare clothes, food, water... good to go

Seth, have you ever "wheeled"??? there is a chance this will be a learning experience for the both of you..
Just dont follow me, brendan, or Dimitri and you should be ok......
Im kidding... well no im not.. I always get myself into some places I shouldnt be and have a good time doing it
also, I will say it again while we are there... if there is anything you all dont feel comfortable doing, there are bypasses to all of the big obstacles.. you are more than welcome to hop in with me if I do them and you wanna see how they are

x2 to what Joe said. If you want possible body damage, getting hung up, possible flops...follow me. If not, dont. Bypasses are there, if you're balsy enough, I'll be more than happy to spot.
Just fixed the 2 wires a cut when I installed my cage. None were the JK wires, they werethe power wire that fed the Painless Wiring fuse block I have, and the other was the ignition hot wire for the block as well. All done, all lighting back on (so if we do end up wheelin' into some of the night, day falls by 4:30 nowadays).
Dropped to 27PSI for the road, 30PSI didn't have the full surface as a contact patch, now it's perfect. Tires are good to go.
Whoever's passenger, definitely need to be the photographer for the day. If you don't mind holding onto my camera, just shoot and video away.
Just tightened up the cage as well. Passenger side left a little gap at the weatherstripping above the door. The other way when it rained like hell, LOTS of water got in. BUT, there was LOTS of wind pushing sideways, hence why it got in. Adjusted the sidebar, adjusted the plastic trim that holds the softtop channel, good to go, tight seal again.
Other than that...all ready.
