4Runner storage?

Hey,

Im going away for 3 months and keeping my 4Runner outside at a friends house (i tried to find a garage but couldn't). I'll probably throw a tarp or car cover over it as well but am curious if theres a few other things I should do to it before I leave to help prevent anything while I'm gone. Three months isn't too long, winter will be setting in soon so I'd like to prevent further rust etc. Any suggestions?

thanks.

For 3 mos I wouldn't bother with anything other than disconnecting the battery (neg cable).
A real car cover is preferable to a tarp because it breathes, so moisture doesn't get trapped and promote rust.
