I'm putting my KJ in storage for a few months. Besides fuel stabilizer, what else should I do? Maybe unhook the battery?

I tell everyone to add 3 boxes of baking soda.
1 in front seat, 1 in back seat, 1 in way back...
Also the battery thing is a good idea, if you can not add a trickle charger..
Top off the Fuel tank so it has less vapors.

make sure the fluids are topped off and some say fresh or ther do not worry. I say have fresh cheap wal-mart oil.

So also say put it on block, to get the pressure of the tires.
but a huge deal...

Exactly, that's why I didn't begin to consider RL. :twisted: I've seen what you guys do to jeeps. :shock: However, the Jeep will come out of storage once the rear bumper is finished, painted, and ready to be installed, plus the gecko lined and ready to be installed. The good news is that I'm all moved now. We'll be living out of the RV for the next few months........or, Marty's house. :wink:

It wouldnt hurt to put some stabil in the tank when you fuel it up.

Being that you are a PA boy you will be able to find this stuff called K100G it is made by kinetic labs in NY FANTASTIC stuff!!! dump a bottle in before you store it and it will run better when you start it next time.
