I wouldn’t think they’d salt the roads around beautiful Lake Tahoe. You’d think California would be concerned about the water quality running into the lake. I thought out in the mountain West we knew how to drive on ice and snow and didn’t need salt
I’m so thankful Oregon doesn’t salt. During a few heavy snows they have in Portland but very rarely. At least the rest of the state only puts down sand and gravel.
I looked it up and it’s a mixture of salt and sand so 50% less salt than the East Coast but still damn I wouldn’t want that on my frame living there.
They do the same here on the obx hardly ever snows if there is a chance they do and almost shuts the whole place down.They've started putting down chemicals on the road THE DAY BEFORE THE STORM, here in VA. Now you get to corrode your vehicle even if it turns out to be a rain event.

Exactly why my 60 is now a summer, early fall, late spring vehicle or snow packed only. It will not leave the garage if that corrosive chemical is applied to the roads. That crap eats metal on contact.They've started putting down chemicals on the road THE DAY BEFORE THE STORM, here in VA. Now you get to corrode your vehicle even if it turns out to be a rain event.
I'd put all new suspension on it, 31x10.5 tires. make sure all smog is working, and spray the whole thing down with fluid film or similar.
you'll have a fun truck with no worries of body damage for years.
Similar here... unless the snow is heavy it is usually sand. But they do occasionally salt/chemical the roads. Plus you get all the grocery stores, resorts, casinos, etc. that will throw their own salt down. While not as bad, still years of this plus the ability of the sand to pile up in those small crevices makes for a great paste. Plus if the PO ever took it to the coast and decided to drive on the sand, well then we got a whole different ball of wax. Now days, for the most part salt has been completely banned around the lake, but not 100% for surrounding areas and whatnot (if I remember correctly).
