I think I am going to wash it, throw some Sea foam in the tank, throw on my stocker wheels and call it a day. I will be starting it periodically so I don't want to take the battery out.

I'm not sure if you have a Menards up there or not, or if the covers are still on sale, but its a decent cover for the price and indoor use.

Alright Kyle, I've got the S10 and Carl's got the Jeep....what are you driving in the winter?

:wtf?: Where the hell did the thread go and what did you go off and do!!!?
I told them to delete it because after I put a down payment on the thing and was going to pick it up and pay the rest, he called me an hour or so ago and told me that he had to sell the thing to his wife's sister. So he is mailing my down payment back to me. :wtf?:

Yep, look around your area for a clean 4x4 cherokee 4.0.

I've heard the tarp idea a lot from the people I know who store cars during the winter.

Full tank of gas and Sta-bil or Seafoam. I don't see how a cover could hurt. The only other thing I would say is something to keep the mice away.

When we winterize our boat we put it on jack stands, cover it and put seafoam in the tank. We run the gas out of the motor with the tank disconnected. We also throw a couple of dryer sheets in it and plug holes with them too. Heard it keeps mice away and it smeels good come spring.:thumbs: We don't put a tarp under it but the hull was made to be put in water...

Use moth balls to keep mice away. My Dad put them in the combine over winter so the mice won't go inside the cab. Doesn't have the nicest smell though but not too bad,


Might as well put in on a tarp and cover it I don't see how it could hurt.
