It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

If you have the option to avoid doing so. While I enjoy my car, I enjoy it too much to put it through winter salty winters. Plus all the asshole drivers around here that freak out over an inch of snow or drive like it's bone dry outside.

Winter driving is some of the most fun you can have in a ZHP! Omitting that is crazy talk.

I didn't buy this 4Runner to subject my zhp to salty bs again! It's fun, but not that fun. Plus apparently 4Lo and 2wd snonuts are fun. And not having to worry about it is ultimate fun.

Exactly why I have mine, plus for hauling around our two dogs. Works well, while having some slide around fun in a zhp is appealing, id prefer to keep mine dry docked for winter.

How often does everyone clean their cars thru the winter?
And how?

Last winter I did a rinse or two at the local car wash. No brushes or anything. I think they were open on the warmer days when it hit around 40, but I thought once I was there in the morning when it was a bit colder. I guess I'll have to see.

I drove my grey zhp through a few winters and washed or sprayed it off as often as possible. Salt and road grim SUCK for paint and creating rust

I would jack it up on ramps and spray undercarriage at least once a month while doing a hand wash in the cold. I bought ice fishing gloves and filled the two buckets with hot water in the tub and carried them outside. Made a huge difference. Was worth it. Kept rust off the underside and the paint looking great.
If I was going to drive my zhp this winter I'd spray it all down underneath and the suspension components with Fluid Film. Going to hit 4runner with it as well since I really don't have time to do a full frame clean and POR15 application.
