Jeep Rubicon, Alaska!

Hey guys, Im in Alaska now at Ft. Rich. Its pretty cool here. the snow is making its way down the mountain. I found a nice truck, i bought a 2003 jeep rubicon. I have ordered the Banks exhaust, edge trail jammer kit, and new speakers. i really like the jeep and cant wait to do more too it. Now when i leave for deployment what should i do to it? what to drain or not drain fluid wise? and will the soft top be ok with all the snow that we are expecting to fall on it. i will be leaving during the last cold months up here.
Thanks for the response's
Later.

At Ft. Rich, it won't get too cold so the Anti-freeze won't be a problem even at a 50/50 mix. Might want to put some fuel stabilizer in the tank before leaving and possibly a atery maintainer if your gone for a looooooooong time. As for the soft top, don't have a clue.

Stay safe on deployment and Thank you.

Does MWR have a deployment vehicle storage place on your base ?? Some places do, and they will go out and start your vehicle for a few minutes every week or two to keep the battery charged and they make sure your tires are kept aired up etc ....

Congrats on the nice toy !!

Cheers,
