'00 TJ hasn't been started in 4 months

I am a Marine and got sent off on a 4 month deployment and I am heading home in a Couple weeks, My TJ hasn't been started for going on 4 months now and I was wondering what all I can expect to be wrong with it when I get home and try to get it out of my storage locker. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Your battery may be down and low tire pressure. If your storage facility has a electric sock in it put a battery tender (not a charger) on the battery and it will keep it fully charged. Happy Birthday HOORA

after only 4 months it should crank and drive just like when you parked it.

Your injectors may have bled off. Turn on the ignition key for at least 10 seconds to restore the fuel pressure before engaging the starter.

After starting, watch the oil pressure to make sure it builds up to roughly 50lbs.

Check and refill tires.

Thank you for your service.

Semper Fi and Happy 230th Birthday!

May need a jump and some air in the tires. Watch the oil pressure. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Thanks, Bill, that's good to know. My injectors lose pressure (2000 TJ) after sitting a few days, so I use the delay to re-pressurize. I had made the assumption that the pump would run until the pressure was up. I'll be quicker in the future.
