    - frame: check for rust
    - prerunner: engage rear diff locker (not at speed)
    - 4x: engage
    - under the hood: look for overspray
    - leafs: look for sag
    - drive: be hard on the brakes to check for axle wrap [occurs on take-off] and steering shimmy [occurs on braking]
    - the rest...have a trusted mechanic give it the once-over.

    welcome! :wave:
