it not only the fact the aloys will go dull over time and will take some time to polish again when a tire is loaded for a couple of months standing in one spot it will get a flat spot that you will feel when you drive the truck again next spring usually it will stop after some miles but if there not under the truck it whont happen
couple of things ive seen done to classics here when stored inside is topping off the fueltank to prevent rust above the level of the fuel
putting the car on jackstands to relieve the suspension and the tires
mottballs on the seats (when there made of jute or wool)
a moist eater/dehumidifier (dunno if there available in the states they work the same way as those little bags with pellets found in electronic packagingboxes ) in the cabin
vaseline on the doorrubbers and some graphite in the locks and a squirt of light oil in the cylinders
some of the guys putting there oldtimers to sleep are verry serious or plain hairsplitters/nutcases , i've seen them put cars on a lift and dry it with a towel and hairdryer after driving it in any rain .............there wives must love them

I have heard and did quite a bit og that, i would put some steel rims on but i have none and not the money for that. Also jack stand will not quite hold up to the grass, i did what i caould for now until i have an indoor place of rest for her. Also some ppl are just plain crazy i would have to agree.

I didn't realize you had money invested in that cad drawing. I thought it was something someone shared with you or something. If you end up sharing the cad file let me know. I would like to have a copy. BTW. You said you used an early 90's 4x4 rotor. Did you stay six lug? |
Yeah it sucks, hibernation, as for the diagrams, i will email you them, i do not care. I used 6 lug rotors but you can use others, let me know what you want to use and i will try to let you know if it will work. Yup a 6 lug early 90's to 2000 ish i believe.
