Parking for a long period

[qraa]

Hi Guys,

My company is sending me overseas for one year. For that reason I have to leave my liberty (damn! I just bought it) parked for that long time. So I just wanted to know if you have any recommendation like lifting the libby from the ground to avoid tire damage and stuff like that.

Thank guys, anything would help me

Do you trust any family members to keep it around for you? That's what we do when we have to store cars for a few months.

We don't drive them, just take them out every once in a while.

Hi Marlon,

I cannot remember that fuse but there is one that you should take out. ISO fuse?

I would probably just unhook the battery.. Put some stabilizer in the gas..

Some people like to take the plugs out and put some oil right into the pistons then crank it some with the plugs OUT before starting it. Then put the plugs back in.

Its never good to let a vehicle sit for along time. Its not good on any of the seals or bearings.

It wouldnt be a bad idea to change the engine oil along with the front and rear diffs, ****** and tcase if they need it.

Google is a good thing. There is tons of information on the web about how to prepare a vehicle for long term storage. Here is just one article:
