I am impressed - with all that driving and all that snow - your GX is TOTALLY CLEAN. You are to be commended.
I took mine out for a spin (no pun) in the 24+" in NYC and as you said, it was a blast. But it sure got dirty.

Remember I drove through the storm. Before they had a chance to even get sand and salt on the ground. When it's snowing I am also very careful to not get the front windshield heated up. I keep the front defroster off. This allows the snow to float over a colder windshield and requires no maintenance as nothing sticks.
Today if you look at the truck it's very dirty as they had plenty of time to coat the roads. Plus I have to be close to empty on the windshield wiper fluid :-)

I had my GX out in the snow in New Jersey and almost got stuck twice. Be careful - it's not going to get you out of everything. I had to lock the diff to get me out of some real slushy stuff and even then it took a good 15-20 seconds of sliding before she started to get moving. Yes, I know how to drive in snow... no I wasnt trying to get it stuck...yes I was on a road and not in the dirt.

Your truck looks more like the meridian blue than the ash blue. Maybe it's the surrounding snow?

With all of this snow bank jumping, I did notice a black panel near the left wheel well, which seams up against the bumper (It faces the ground), out of place. When I checked it, it was loaded with snow :-) I had to bend it back and tuck it under the bumper.
Minor issue we can all expect if we are filling snow behind the wheel wells :-)
