​Have Your Hostile Wheels and Nitto Terra Tires Checked to Ensure All is Well

The iconic road trip is often something preserved for the younger generation. You and a couple of your buddies, without a care in the world, hop into your 1970 Dodge Charger with a few necessities and take off to your destination.

But road trips can occur at any time with people of all ages. Consider this: Would you grab your spouse and head out for a road trip on a whim just to get away from the house for a few days? Of course you would, anybody who would turn down such a treat needs therapy.

Since this isn't the 1960s and you drive a truck with Hostile wheels instead of a Charger, you might want to plan out this road trip before just spontaneously taking off.

Set a Vision

While it would be nice to just cruise the highways of America, your wife will probably ask just where you are taking her, so you need to have a destination. You also need to define the purpose of said road trip.

Maybe you would like to go visit an old friend in another city or maybe you want to explore the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, the sky is really the limit here. Depending on what you want to do will determine how much planning needs to take place before you leave.

Plan the Trip

Your road trip might last a week, month or even longer, you set the limits. But keep in mind you will need supplies and a place to sleep wherever you choose to go. If you travel in the summer, you could bring your camping gear along and simply set up camp every night after a long drive.

Again, the amount of planning is determined by several factors. For example, you might be hitting the road to visit an old friend who is willing to put you and your spouse up for a week, so this type of trip requires less planning than others.

Tune Up the Truck

You will want to ensure that the truck is running a peak performance, so take it in and have a qualified mechanic look it over. You will also want to have your Hostile wheels and Nitto Terra tires checked to ensure all is well.

Pack the Necessities

In addition to food, money and all the other obvious items you need to pack, there are some things you don’t want to forget. For example, even though you love listening to the radio, you might want to bring along some CDs. As you may or may not know, there are parts of this country where you won’t be able to tune in a station that doesn’t play country music.

Plan for Any Emergencies

Make sure you budget in for things like bad weather that might cause delays or a vehicle breakdown. You might also want to consider joining AAA or some other road protection plan. But also keep in mind that road trips are best if they are a little risky and you get to enjoy spontaneity.
