Are you at Dyess AFB? That's the only military installation that I recall in the Abilene area.

My son is at Travis. He went to UAE/Saudi, last year. He was gone for 120 days, and his truck sat until the last couple of weeks before he came back. Other than a load of bird excrement (aka $h!t), it was okay. The decorations didn't get there until his buddy drove it the last 2 weeks and parked it under a tree when he wasn't driving it.

Yeah, disconnect the battery, for sure. And, adding Sta-Bil to the gas is a very good thing to do. Taking the weight off of the tires is good. Exposure to the sun can deteriorate the rubber in your tires, so some folks cover the tires....like the RV'ers do. A cover on the vehicle should help protect the paint and the interior. I understood the take on putting the oil in the intake but I think you can also just pull the plugs and shoot WD-40, or LPS-2 into the spark plug holes. I'd cover the carburetor to prevent dirt daubers from building nests. You gotta remember that wasps will also build nests in the crooks and crannies of your vehicle, so when you return, you'll need a can of spray to kill 'em. If I understood my son, he parked his truck near the squadron area near the flight line. That way, it will be "watched over" by the other crew members. You may want to verify that putting it on blocks/stands won't give the Security Police reason to have it towed. Shouldn't be a problem, as long as your registration is up to date.

Good luck on your deployment.
