Wife wants me to store the ARGO outside!

[jnjmoonsfishing]

So how many of you store you AATV outside in the weather? I live in Kodiak Ak. We get a ton of rain and snow each year.

My wife asked me the other day if we could put the AGRO on the trailer up in the over flow parking for the government housing area. 1. I don't want kids or others playing with my toy, and 2 I don't want to have a bath tub to drain when I want to use my toy.

So other then pulling the drain plugs and have the trailer tilted for best drainage what are some other things that I have to worry about?

Can you tarp it? At least that would keep rain out for the most part.

Argo

was the garage heated? If yes you might consider putting fuel anti freeze in. I am sure it gets REAL cold up by you.

How about an enclosed trailer? Or use a Heavy Duty tarp. Instead of bungees or tie downs use chains and padlocks?

Do what I do: put up another building just for amphibs.

I have a few too many toys, they won't all fit in my shop, so I usually have to store about half of them outside. We have about 4' of snow out there right now (You could drive over my 6x6 Argo with a sled, and not know it was there). I use canvas tarps, for the most part, you might want to consider building a temporary frame on you trailer to tarp over. Leave the plugs out, it will be fine. As a matter of fact, it won't mind being outside as much as you mind leaving it there.lol

I need a bigger shop too

Companies like Shelter King and Cover-It (better but more $$$) make relatively inexpensive garage buildings, with heavy tarp sides, doors and top. Even Tractor supply carries them, just not sure on quality, but for a few hundred it's good for storage. (Heck, I'm using a 10'x20' for a workshed, yes, in the dead of winter)

Store the wife outside!

Where can I meet a woman THAT forgiving?

My grandparents lived on a farm in Minnesota and stored the truck in the living room in the winter. True story.

I also have a shelter king and I have a coal stove in one end of it. When I needc to work on the machine I just start the stove. and then I have a warm place to work. Up untill this year I stored my argo outside. I never had any problems with it I just left the top on it to keep the snow out and in the summer I kept the top off and the plugs out untill I needed them.

If I was not living in government housing I would defiantly be putting up another building.

Well, we all know its time for you to move... What comes first, shelter or argo? hehehe
