Official what did you do to your truck today thread.
Started it up for the first time in a month or longer and took it for a drive to keep things 'activated'. Currently sitting at 124,414 miles. I have some concerns about letting it sit over the next couple months this winter. It stays in my non-heated garage on concrete floor. I inflate the tires to 50 psi, remove the battery, and have rat bait and moth ***** under it. Otherwise, I don't keep the tank full cause I tend to start it monthly. Any small tips for staying parked a month at a time? Think taking the wipers off bringing them inside is going too far? Should I keep the tank full anyway?
I plan to insulate the garage this summer and get a heater in there ( tapped to the house's gas line ). Keep it a decent 60 degrees or so.

I actually did think of it, but that's why I do the high psi inflation. There was no flat spot bounce today after sitting a month. So I may keep doing this.

Looked at new trucks a while back and decided I liked my '05 better than anything I saw, especially for the price, lol. So I put new shoes on, Cooper AT3s, and for Christmas a Westin HDX Grille Guard. Feels and looks like a new truck now, ready for the winter.

My truck has never even been driven in the rain -- if anything like that happened to my baby I think I'd start crying......

And would it kill to just drive it to work once a week? You and keeping it sparkling clean
Clean up sucks big time . . . 2 of the 3 times mine has been in "mud" that required major uncarriage clean up have been mostly accidental haha.
