Yup...part of the luxury of living out there....I grew up there. If I lived there again, I wouldn't have a winter and a summer driver; just one kick butt dd for myself, maybe even a 2wd.

I guess its the price of having four seasons..................

A week ago it was 88 degrees..........

Thanks guys, finished the detailing and cleaning today. Cant do much else once its parked haha.

We garage our nice vehicles (well the ones who care about them do ). Especially in New England where me Ken are, there's a ton of salt dumped onto the roads whether its unions that wanna make overtime or just cause it snows a lot and its cold enough for ice. We are the worst offenders of it and everywhere else uses a vehicle friendly aggregate. That's also why a truck like mine is worth more in re-sale value up here as well because it is rare to find older trucks without rust problems and rot.

Great seeing the "love" you have for your truck Mike, but I bet you'll take it out in that first fallen snow (before the salt trucks)

Here in PA its salt & gravel (which just chip paint so it rusts faster) or the new Slimb stuff it just soaks way in and can kill a truck in no time. Has to be done never get up hills with out it .

I know a couple of dealers out here that make a good living buying used cars/trucks in the Pacific Northwest and shipping them east for resale. We don't get the salt, or the extreme temps that destroy paint and interiors in the desert states.
