If your looking for storage about an hour from the GTA for between $300 and $500 a winter just let me know. I have 3 friends who own a total of 7 starage buildings ( fit in total about 400 vehicles).

If your going to store it just throw some shitty wheels and rubber on it, remove the battery and get yourself a can of Crown or Rust check. Spray all of the important shit (or the whole thing) and put it in. It will be dirty as fuck when it comes out but it will be just the same as when it went in. I've been storing my vehicles for about the last 10 years and have never had a problem. If you need it just let me know, it fills up fast so usually you want your spot reserved in about begining to mid sept.

Schreff, wont it build condensation?

It might. I never stored any of my bagged cars or trucks and never had a problem. You might wanna take your tank, compressor and valves inside but wouldnt worry about the bags or lines. Just keep it covered with a good truck cover, like a covercraft.

Hey Cid, I may have a place for you to store/work on your ride for the winter. We may or may not have a space available, but if we do, I would deffinetely like to lighten the rent load. About $125 - $170 per month depending on how many guys are in. Has a wood burning stove also. PM if your interested.

All that I have done is drain the tank and then let them sit. My fullsize has been bagged for 4 years and stored each year and not a problem. My valves don't leak or stick and everything has been perfect (SMC valves, firestone comperssors). The last 2 years I have been leaving about 40-50 LBS in the bags and its still there when I pick it up about 5 months later.

I stored my car last winter and have been driving it all summer with no ill effects of storage. I parked it outside,put some fuel stabilizer in it,left it in gear,didn't set the parking brake,removed the battery and wrapped it up in 2 car covers and put crappy wheels on it. After 7 months of storage,I pulled the car cover off,put some new fuel in it and a battery,turned the key and she fired right up on the first try and has run like a champ ever since.

My truck has been stored since June,it's also outside,on crappy wheels,no battery,fuel stabilizer and wrapped in car covers,and since it is parked on grass,I put tarps down on the grass and parked the truck on the tarps so the gras can't grow up under and around the truck and rot it out.

my father is a diesel mechanic and used to work/drive the semi's. He says that the semis use air dryers inline with the system. you might be able to stop by a semi store and pick one up if they arent too expensive.

I'll have to check that out in one of my books. I went to a local Mack dealer and they gave me an air ride and suspension catalog (about an inch thick of all different setups, bags, valves, compressors, ect.). This could be a good option.
