    My truck is a shade of brown, sometimes white. Suppose to above freezing soon enough so I can finally wash my under the dirt, salt, to get the grey color truck it once was. A lot of the car washes close below -10C/14F and its been below that for a week and a half.

    I bought my truck (first gen with recall for frame rust) when I lived in new mexico, it's perfectly clean.

    If it does rust through I'm screwed because it's out of the rust warranty.

    I moved to Ohio 6 months ago for work and would just hate to see it rust out. I'd rather destroy a POS $1000 car I don't care about, plus we don't get that much snow here in Columbus so 4x4 is really not needed.

    I feel your pain brother.

    The mix of salt, gravel, whatever; really take a toll on the vehicles.

    I try not to go on the heavy salted roads; but it is still winter.

    hey OP i think you may want to grab a gun and call the cops......There is someone spying on you from the other side of the truck.


    and I LOVE winter, just as much as summer maybe more sometimes..... salt sucks but i think it kinda looks cool when a car truck is all dirty and shit.
