i didnt have time to read all the other words of advise given, but if i were to store my jeep for longer than 6 months i would 1 make sure my tires werent leaking so they dont go flat, 2 theres this stuff called, STA-BIL its red and its a gas stabilizer, put that in, the tank full or not. you dont neccisarily need to fill it but condensaion will be reduced if tank is full 3 change/fill fluids 4 fog the motor 5 coat the cyls 6 disconect battery
and the only problem with a tarp is it'l wreck the paint,(if you care about that stuff) it will literally wear the pain right off all the corners it lays against. invest in a fitted cover, its worth the money.

make sure u dont parkit in grass and make sure air can flow under it. thats what can rot out ur bottom. (with ur lift though i think air can move under it fine lol if u wanted to keep it in mass i might have a place u could keep it for free if ur interested i will look into it

I think this might be my first post! I hope it helps! Put the dry gas in the tank then fill the tank. Once filled drive it enough so you know that the dry gas is in the entire fuel system. Do not put it under a tarp , it will trap moisture underneath the tarp with temp changes. Try not to park it on the grass either. As the weather gets warmer the ground thoughts out and moisture collects under your Jeep.
Take the ground off the battery
Spray silicon on the rotors to keep them from rusting, Burns off after a few stops. If your going to be driving it in the spring then the only other thing I would do would be to take some weight off the tires or change them.
Spring time give it a good wash, maybe a wax and off you'll go.

Why would you take the ground off the battery?

it actually gets washed about 4 times a year and hand waxed twice.

yeah, the waxing usually occurs after you vacuum the inside right?

after you finished taking out my lift? please, you helped, but i do remember you and bobby standing in front of the heater (which worked sweet by the way) pretty much the whole time i did the rear. oh wait, bobby did stand on the axle for me . and yes, thanks to muddog for the use of his sweet HDTV so i could watch 24. its not my fault your mom "made" me stay for dinner and wouldnt let me go home to watch tv!
