Winter Prep?

So up here in NH they salt and sand the crap out of the roads in the winter. Does anyone have any tips or tricks that they do during the winter to help with the inevitable rust and such (short of just keeping the truck clean....ish) I've seen some people that spray the frame down with what looks like lithium grease or something, but I'm not totally sure.

I spray my frame and underneath the truck with fluid film.

 

Be sure to let the summer air of of your tires and put winter air in. Don't forget you also need to change your Blinker fluid from summer to winter Viscosity.

 

I'll be sure to grease the muffler bearing too

Move South.

 

They salt crazy here to. I always just try to spray it off and keep it as clean underneath as i can. Actually i take it to an automatic car wash when i can, so the underneath gets good and clean as welll

 

Honestly. Park the truck and get a cheap used sacrificial vehicle for winter use. let the salt eat that and save the truck.

 

Spray the frame, get winter tires, slow down.

 

Sounds like a plan, I hate Winter!

 

I'm new to Tacoville...I live in NH too...just had my underside coated. There's a bunch
of places that do it...the place that did mine is in Concord. It ran about $180...I had the black stuff applied...the clear is a few bucks cheaper. I suspect if I'd have had this done on my Wrangler over the years I'd still be driving it.

 

I did a winter in New London Conneticut once. That was more than enough for this southern boy.

I like it when the summer is hot and the young ladies are even hotter.

 

I've never used the stuff before, but here's a link to their store locator (shops that will apply it for you).

Glad I don't live in snowy areas anymore. Salt and sand really do a number on vehicles from what I've seen. No matter how much you try to protect the undercarriage, years and years of that stuff is a killer to the vehicle and resale value
