Good wipers, heater/defroster, tires haha not much you can do to protect it from snow and ice. RhinoLine will help protect against rust if you have small spots or something like that.

Depending on how protective you are, you could get a car tarp as well.

Check your coolant specific gravity.

I live in Michigan (Bad winters, we salt roads like it's our favorite pastime as well) and I rattle can bedlined the entire bottom side to protect it from the salt and snow all winter. Worked awesome. Best thing I've done to preserve my Cherokee's unibody.
