whenever I store anything for the winter, I pull all the plugs and spray plenty of WD 40 in the cylinders and around the plug threads, then put them back in.

unhook the battery terminals and spray a little WD 40 on them too just for the hell of it LOL and leave them unhooked. I never bother with a trickle charger if the battery is unhooked. It's not necessary with today's batteries if it's just sitting there not hooked up to anything.

Usually I put the car on jackstands because I have had creaky suspension before, after long periods of sitting in one spot but it's not really a necessary step and it's kinda a pain in the **** anyway.

Get a fresh oil change and check the antifreeze before you put her away and always use a good fuel stabilizer!!!!!!!!!!

Not to hijack the thread but living in FL all my life I never relised all the trouble you cold weather peeps go through. Of course the sun eats dark colors alive down here and if your lucky enough to live near the ocean then the salt does lovely things as well. Well with that said hope the storage goes well. I will drive a few more miles for all of you while your hibernating.
