It's the same place it goes here to, They load all these road, and parking lot snowbanks into large dump trucks that dump the salt, and snow onto the major river banks along the town. it doesn't take a genius where the salt ends up.
 
some undercoating long ago on that forward facing bolt to the washer jar tank housing sure woulda helped me out in the current fiasco of replacing grommet and pump or wherever its leaky from

That driveshaft looks so pitted it looks like if you whacked it with a hammer it'd break right through. I didn't coat the driveshaft on my tacoma fearing it could throw it out of balance. I didn't on my tundra either, and it was ok the nearly 20 years I owned it.

Well, seeing what you already have into this truck, which is probably more than a newer used one, its your call, it couldn't hurt if you like new parts.
