Reply With Quotebout the same but I also do a loadout checkover, seatbelts and stays and a a rattle/wobble mk I eyeball on all the underbody fixtures ESP the fuel tank and exhaust.
Just a thought,
I normally once a week do the fluid checks and top up the oil but other than that I normally try to do a service and grease before going away for any more than a weekend.
For a normal trip, weekend at Toolangi or Gembrook, I just do a battery, Belt and tyre presures.
On top of the normal fluids and general check and normaly spanner check things like the roof rack, bull bar bolts and towbar bolts as I have found them loose on one occasion.
Let us know what you do

Looks like Dave and myself are the only ones that do trip prep on a regular basis.
Or am I just impatient.

i normally just fill the fuel tank......and the engel.......

If your looking after your landrover properly Trip prep is done as part of your weekly checkovers...
As big red cops more than her fair share of abuse and is due to either do the fuel pump or tank straps and I have one semi dodgy exhaust mount I just give it the eyeball.
Loadout check overs are simply a safety thing to make sure SWMBO hasnt put something somewhere dangerous.(or i havent done so absent mindedly.
