I live in the mountains of Utah where they Salt the main roads all winter long. My 4Runner is mainly my winter vehicle. I wash it A LOT during the winter, paying particular attention to the undercarraige. The undercarraige of my '97 still looks very good with little if any rust.
There are some pictures of 4Runners on here, that have spent their lives where the roads are salted in the winter, and after years of neglect look pretty bad underneath. Some rear axles have even rusted to the point of developing gear oil leaks due to rust holes in the housing.
One trip to where they Salt the roads wouldn't be a big deal. But if it were me, I'd still wash all the Salt off anyway.
