storage

[bh1075]

If you saw my other thread yall know im leaving for the marines this sunday. Im not 100% sure on what to do with my truck.

No chance of it getting drove while im gone so the only options is leaving out in our field.

Any tips?
drain the fluids or anything like that?

About the only think that can go 'bad' is the gas. I would get some fuel stabilizer and put some of that in the gas. I think that you can store gas that has stabil in it for a long time. I know with my boat I fill the tank all the way up so that water does not condense in the tank. Plus almost guaranteed that gas will be more expensive when you get back. Probably wouldn't hurt to change the oil while you are at it.

buy a few bricks to park the tires on. to keep them off the ground, so they dont dry rot as quick. fuel stab to keep the fuel decent. maybe a tarp to keep some of the seals from holding water or rotting.

all good things previously said. only thing i would add is if someone can come and start it and take a 5 minute drive every so often. there is just no substitute for moving parts that are meant to move...
