I'd prioritize your list this way: 1. Buy Bentley manual 2. Replace fuel lines 3. Replace alternator (If not working. If it is working, then I'd move it down below #4.) 4. Replace tires 5. Remove belts for A/C and power steering Everything else can wait. Keep your first road trips short. Keep a log of miles travelled, conditions, fuel economy, and any problems encountered. Keep a plan for what to do when the van misbehaves. Good luck. -Jarrett 89 Westy
