You guys speak of the rust belt. i got you all beat.

Long Island-snow and salted streets in the winter and sand and salt water to play with during the summer.

4 seasons of good corrosion!

One of those sprinklers that go back and forth are a great tool for fighting salt under the Jeep.

Here's a good example of the rust belt term.

Up there you need a snowmobile instead of a Jeep.

thats a summer trick. Winter is a different story. Kind of just have to deal with it. A couple towns a way have one of those self wash stations open all year.

But thats the good thing about my region. Temps hover just above freezing thanks to the gulf stream in the Atlantic.

That oscillating sprinkler under the Jeep trick is good for after you've been in the mud too.
