well for one, you definately need new tires. You might want to use a defferent weight oil that is better suited for colder conditions. Make sure all bearings and exposed seals are water tight and fresh WATERPROOF grease. You dont want anything getting in seals, bearings etc. and freezing. This would be very bad.

Another thing to think about is that cold tempatures will lean out your air/fuel mixture slightly. Shouldn't be a problem if the pred is still stock. But if you have mods, it's something to keep an eye on.
