Taking a vehicle out of a field

I took one of my old vehicles out from behind my house today. It's a 1998 V6 2wd that has been sitting behind my house for almost 2 years since I hit a deer with it.

Well I got a new battery for it today and plan to do the basics like change the oil, brake fluid, check pads/rotors, coolant, etc.

Anything else I need to look out for besides spiders and snakes? Maybe throw some fuel treatment in if that stuff even works. Or something to help the old gas since it has a 1/4 tank in it and I want to burn that out before I add new gas.

So far it seems to be running very smoothly and I'm very happy. I want to run most of the gas out and then fill it up. The AC/Heat doesn't work at all (doesn't even blow), but it'll be a good vehicle for getting back and forth to work and school.
