Make sure to check all fluids (oil, coolant, transmission fluid, ect.) May need to put some fresh gas in it. Try starting it, if it wont, pull the plugs and try the ATF trick (search the FAQ if you dont understand)

If it has set for 4-6 months or more, add some Sta-Bil and Heet to the fuel, then top it off with some fresh fuel.

Charge battery, you would be suprized at how many people come into autozone and buys a starter, relay, bunch of ignition stuff... later to find out that their battery was dead because their wife left the lights on over night.
