Winter Storage & Winter Hibernation
Here are some additional ideas to protect your investment.
- If the vehicle is going to be sitting in one spot for an extended period of time, over inflate the tires by +10 lbs
- Place Styrofoam blocks under the tires to help eliminate flat spots from forming on the tires
- Apply a good coat of wax to help protect the paint surface on the vehicle
- Store vehicle with full tank of gas to prevent fuel from contamination
