Don't look at it.
I don't personally do anything about it and I run mine in the winter too. Rust is a very hard thing to stop once it has started. Nice thing is on these rigs it's mainly just surface rust and doesn't present a structural danger.
Best way is to prevent the rust from starting by coating the metal with some kind of oil to keep the moisture off the surface area. There are many different options for this, but the thing I don't like about it is any oil will attract dirt to the area, so you have to be careful you don't get it on the moving parts that will be damaged by dirt getting into it.
Like everything else, there is no perfect solution.

You can get screw kits that are stainless steel. I just dab my screws with q-tips and wd-40.

Yup, WD-40 and a toothbrush helps after running in the wet stuff. Oh and dry you truck off after each run, goes without saying but some just put em away wet..
Or get the stainless steel screw kit..
