I'm just building up gear and outback is on the cards so I'll start off with the basics and build.

Add this to your list if you haven't done it before - actually knowing how to do it. For all the video's and stuff you might watch, you just don't learn something until you need to do it - so better off having a practice at home on a sunday arvo than stuck on the oodnadatta on a 40c day. Go to a wrecker, you can normally pickup a shitty rim and tyre for $20, put a small hole in it and go from there. Also gives you an idea of the force required to get a tyre on/off the rim..
A little trick I was taught in Tassie a while back, if you have another car, let the air out and take out the valve, then drive over the tyre as close to the rim as you can without hitting it. Not ideal, but we didn't have a choice at the time (and that sucker just didn't wanna come off)!
