Nissan: Keeping PU In The Mts. Question

First thing is a high quality battery maintainer (NOT charger). This
will assure that your battery is always kept at a steady voltage and
that it is charged and discharged to maintain it's effencicy.

#2 would be either a block heater or lower hose coolant heater. That
keeps the block and coolant warm when the temps fall below freezing.

#3 would be some form of tire flat spotting protection. Either jack
stands or wood blocks.

#4 if it doesn't burn any oil, you can always go to a 0W30 synthetic
(which isn't a bad idea anyway, as it really works wonders in low
temperature conditions).

#5 flush and change the brake fluid. Brake fluid absorbs water, the
last thing you want is water in your brake fluid when it's COLD!

Last I'd dump the idea of a tarp. Throwing a plastic or vinyl tarp
over it only assures that it will either rust or rot. Invest in a
high quality car cover or go full pop for some type of fixed cover.

If you're not going to use it over the winter just make sure the antifreeze is
good for at least -30, use a fuel stabilizer and remove the battery and place it
on a piece of wood. I wouldn't worry about the oil if you aren't going to drive
it.
