Help with shopping list

Hi guys,
I need a few suggestions for my shopping list.
My Box is up to 70,000km and I will be on holiday in the USA in October.

I am looking at what I may need to replace for preventative maintenance.
So far on my list is serpentine belt, spark plugs, water pump, AOS, coolant tank,braided brake lines,coolant cap, low temp thermostat.

Happy for any further suggestions. I may as well buy as much as I can while our dollar is high.

Why coolant tank? Is it cracked or broken? Those are the only reasons they are usually replaced, unless I am missing something.

But anyways, change transmission oil at 90,000 miles, which I think is around 120,000km.

Check RMS seal and IMS for leaks or issues.

If you get a water pump buy the OEM one the rest are junk and even the OEM isn't made well. How about some new brake pads?

I have the LN IMS and a new clutch pressure plate and flywheel were fitted last year.
Purchasing the coolant tank because it is $120 cheaper in the US and don't know when I will be back.
Had not thought of brake pads.

Fuel filter. Spark plug tubes and/or tube o-rings.
