Unless you get a full "heavy duty" rebuild, there are no bolt-on parts you can add to the transmission to make it stronger (valve body, torque converter, etc.). None of these parts make the transmission itself any stronger.
A larger transmission pan won't do anything but add fluid capacity. It won't add strength or cooling efficiency as there is just more hot fluid to extract heat from at that point. The transmission cooler you have stock will be a little guy located between the A/C condenser and the intercooler near the bottom. It never hurts to add a bigger cooler.

Have a good trip. I've taken that trip a couple of times but my destination was the Tillamook area. I like it there a lot.
Save your money on the transmission pan. They look neat and that's about it.
