I still got to hook up the battery tender on the bike and run some stabilizer through the tank. I think this past saturday was the last ride for it. Just have to pick up a front stand and up it goes.

Have to decide if I’m going to pull the plastics and have them painted over the winter while I work on the engine stuff. :dunno:

Mine has been tucked away for the past week or so. Not by my choice but what can ya do?

What does everyone recommend as far as prep for winter time? I thought I’d be storing my rig in a garage this winter but its not lookin so good for that option. What should I do if I have to store it outside?

car cover and put it on jackstands so the tires don’t sit on the ground.

Change out the oil reguardless if you haven’t already so the aicds don’t harm the internals. Fuel stabilizer if you havn;t done it as well. :dunno:

John, talk to Gregg about a self storage… Thats what I would do if absolutely necessary… There’s no way after all the time and effort you’ve put into that truck that you should leave it outside for the winter.

My black hatch is pretty much parked. Might get it out one more time just to go for a drive.

The beater has new winter tires ready to bust through some drifts and I have the winter tires (knobbies w/ drywall screws) ready for the WR.
