How to store the mini for winter?

Ok guys, first time I have had 2 rigs, and I don't have a garage!

What should I be doing to store the truck over winter?

I know I need to get some fuel stabil, and I've got the truck covered with a tarp. The battery is out and in a storage.

What about the tires, airbags and engine?

I'm afraid of giving the tires flat spots because I don't have enough jacks to keep all 4 off the ground. Should I just inflate the tires and check the pressure every month?

My dad expressed his concern about the airbags as he thinks with it being deflated and all the weight on them will cause them to be brittle? I dunno..

What about the engine? I'm thinking I need to run it like once a month or something, but I dunno if I can do something about it without running it? What about the oil in it, etc?

not sure..

i know all 4 tires in air would help..

Git yerself one of these,if your town laws permit you to have one.


Keep a tarp on the truck too...might have just been because mine was on gravel and stayed warm,it got lots of condensation inside and pretty much rained inside.

Last year I had a tarp carport and the thing collapsed on me in the winter! Luckily I only had a cadillac in it at the time and not my truck!

So I suppose no one else can chime in on it, huh?

i know you need to have the weight off of the bags so they dont get pulled apart. if the truck is on jackstands in the rear, id remove the rear bags.

you might want to throw in some airbrake anitfreeze into the air system so if you do get condensation or if you have any water in there at all it won't freeze your valves and blow the seals when you air it up later on

that air brake anti freeze sounds like it might be a good idea for any of us that are bagged even if we are going to drag all winter long am i right on this one

it sure wouldn't hurt anything!!
