About to put the Raptor away for winter.
Dropped off at same barn where my boat and Bronco been for few years.
Used to be barn for draft horses, now gets my stuff for the off season.
Dirt floor and quite a few birds.
Old tarp goes over the sunbrella boat cover.
I got a pretty lightweight (cheap) sort of canvas cover to keep bird droppings off the Bronco.
Looking for something similar now for the Raptor.
Indoors, so it doesn't need to be very heavy duty.
Wondered if anyone had good luck with anything like that??
TIA

I usually cover mine with a blanket of snow… ;)

Hey me too :)IMG_0394.jpeg

Definitely wish i could put it up for winter. Lol

Ive heard getting a good breathable one and using a “shell” like a tarp or canvas one for keeping water / bird crap off. I believe it was a covercraft one.

Snow, I wouldn't mind.
I am sure it would even be FUN.
Had thoughts of getting tires that would work in winter last year.
My MTs slide around if I drive through a sprinkler.
Salt and chloride is just too DESTRUCTIVE.
Road commissions just spread WAY too much of it.
Having a Gen1 with cab corners and rockers is a rarity in my area.
Trying to keep them intact.

Yes, beware of the little critters getting up in the vehicles and nesting and munching on the wiring.
YEP..been there,done that..little F=×%^<s chewed all the insulation around the battery and 1 injector wire that was impossible to find..finally had it towed..$600 to find ,fix...
MIne isnt "stored" for winter...but still a trap and poison block near each front tire...Also had put trap right on battery...and did get the one that caused problem...so no problems in 2 years....

I'm fabricating and painting 130 steel fence brackets in the garage, (you can see 3 in the foreground), so it's plastic tarps & welding blankets at the moment.
