- The higher you go the less octane your engine will require.

- Never take a firearm or ammunition (even one bullet) into Mexico
unless you want to spend many many years, in prison. They have
zero sense of humor on the issue.

- Check with the dealer to see if there is a high-altitude modification
for your Jeep. In some cases there is a special CPS sensor that has
been offset for higher altitude. Older Jeeps had a high-altitude wire
but yours is probably too modern.

- Take spare parts, especially a fuel filter, and if you
have them, belt and hose repair kit. Mexico isn't too
bad for finding parts but your better off if you bring
your own.
