Winches and road salt?
For those who have had winches mounted on the front of their jeeps in the winter, what has the salt and grime from winter roads done to it? Has it effected the outer winch casing, cable or otherwise made them into a rusty mess!
And no I don't want to move South or West out of the snow!

I heavily spray down my cable with WD-40 every Fall, and give the whole winch a light coating. The paint on the winch (Warn M9000i) is flaking off, but no rust.

My Warn 9.5ti still looks good after almost 4 years of MI salt. Paint is still fine. I wipe the cable with an oily rag once a year. I am changing bumpers soon so plan to give it a good cleaning during the process.

I don't live in snow year round but I do a lot of snow runs and my T-Max is on year 10 and going strong!
