We recently got an snow storm where I live so there is salt on the ground. Is it okay if I drive it when there is salt on the ground. Will it affect the engine.

Engine won't mind, but it will be murder on axles and bearings in the driveline.
 
It will also eat away any aluminum such as your chassis. Not recommended!
 
Mudslinger is right. The salt will pit any aluminum parts real fast and quite badly. You would have to do a very thorough cleaning.
 
Salt will make ware on things just like a vehicle. At times like this i would just make sure to do a good cleaning as soon as it comes inside, not to let it sit, and re-greasing bearings n such after the cleaning is good...Rhino line it, then you should have no problems! :p::first_place:
