What sort of long term storage regimen are you guys using for your hunting rigs? My "new" truck is going to live a two hour drive from my house, and will only be used sporadically through the year until the seasons open and use becomes more frequent. I've never done anything like this so help me out here. I'm thinking that I'll need to pull the battery to keep it from running down completely, and some sort of fuel stablilization. Other thoughts/tips?

Take it to Fleet Farm and fill w/no Ethanol fuel. They also sell Seafoam for $50/Gal (way cheaper than 16oz cans). If the battery is relatively fresh and strong you shouldn't need to remove it. I store my '37 Chevy w/carbureted Small block all winter on nothing more than a full charge.

Clean cables/connections, fresh battery, operational alternator. If you're really worried you could either get a solar charger to keep the battery topped off or just a regular charger on trickle assuming you have access to electricity wherever said suburban will reside.

Depending where you store it (inside vs. outside) mice can be a real problem for long term storage. I've yet to find a really good, low cost solution (we built a second shop to house our dump truck).
