Re: [T3] long storage


I put blocks under the vehicle and allowed 
the wheels to extend to the full range down. 
This will kill the rubber  snubber on the 
front end. No replacements are available. 
Get the tires off the ground, but block 
the vehicle so the weight is still on the 
axle, not the frame. It also helps to keep
the CV boots neutral as well.
 
Since I have a roof rack, I attached PVC 
tubing to it to keep the tarps from touching 
the car. This helped quite a bit to keep 
moisture from accumulating anywhere.
 
Apply some rubber preservative to the window 
rubber, like glycerin or a quality product 
(not Armor All). Mine is dried and cracking. 
Even apply it to the door seals, trunk, and 
engine seals.
