Winter Parking Preparations
 

I think I'm going to park the CJ7 for the winter but I'm wondering what
preparations I can make to help prevent any problems next spring. It gets
very cold here (-35C or -30F approx) and it will be parked outside on a
gravel driveway. It's pretty much stock with some growing amounts of body
rust (some all the way through).

Thanks!

Good antifreeze, full tank of gas with some gas line deicer in 'just
because', proper antifreeze through the windshield washer system and the
battery disconnected comes to mind.

Gas in the tank? Why's that? I was thinking to empty it but then again I had
no idea one way or the other ...

Re: Winter Parking Preparations
 

A partially full gas tank will produce condensation from moisture in the
air, which in turn can freeze.
