BBQdDude Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Ok, so I now have a daily driver and the toy. First time for me having both. Winter storage, I will be parking the toy in the garage. I assume I need to get a trickle charger and some fuel stabilizer. Are both needed? Do I need to do anything else?

Geeto67 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 are you absolutely not going to move the car once it is stored? if so put it up on 4 jack stands so the tires don't flat spot and then over inflate the tires. also toss a few desiccant packs in the interior so the car doesn't smell like mildew next spring.

BBQdDude Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Good point. I can once a month move it a foot. Good call on the smell/humidity. Would something like this work? https://www.amazon.com/Silica-Gel-Desiccants-2-1-Inches/dp/B003DKQB02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only downside to this is you leave the suspension hanging for months. It's a trade off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickey4271647545519 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Park it with a full tank and fuel stabilizer. And don't move it or start it till spring. Starting it "every so often" is actually bad for the engine, after about a week or so it's a dry start with basically no lubrication present. As far as smell and keeping critters away, bounce sheets actually seem to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trickle charger is good, battery disconnect seems to work better. Full fuel tank,stabil,fresh oil change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
