Storing evo for long time

Deploying in nov. Its 2 1/2 month away but going to field , block leave, and packing etc. Got lots of stuff to do. I'm storing my evo in base storage. Not sure if its covered or not. What stuff I need to get prepare for deployment? and what do i need to do?
I'm getting car cover and going to disconnect my battery.

You could put it on jackstands, let the suspension hang and get the tires off the ground. Thats really up to you, for that short of time with just the cover and disconnecting the battery you should be fine.

get jack stands, lift the car, make sure you do not have alot of gas in your tank, disc. battery, when you come back make sure you re-fill the tank with fresh gas- get oil changed, thats it.

Well I think you are supposed to fill the tank as much as possible to avoid moisture. Then run the tank out without boosting the **** out of it.
