Winterize!! What do you do?

Now that I live in the North East I wont be driving my 3rd gen all year round anymore. I Bought a 4Runner for Snow duty so what to do with the car for 5 months? Should I put it away with a full tank? How about battery terminals? Unhook? Any ideas would be appreciated. Looks like it will be under a cover in the driveway. Any good rules of thumb would be appreciated!

Lightbulb a little help

yeah, park the car with a full tank with like 94 octane and a caniter of fuel stabilizer. i think it is called Sta-Bil or something. and change the oil and filter as well. definitely disconnect the battery terminal, and there is something you are supposed to put around the spark plugs but i forget what it is called...

hope this helps.
