For crying out loud, WASH YOUR JEEP!

Some of the folks I wheel with get a hard on for mud. Don't get me wrong, I like my share of mud, but after you've fried some radiator e-fans and experienced the mad mud shakes on the highway after, you get over it. I will not actively hunt for mud, but won't avoid it.

I don't usually wash my vehicles over the winter. Once or twice to get ice buildup off. Every couple of weeks in the summer I'll give them a power wash down, but nothing real detailed.

I have to admit though, there was a couple times last summer that I was in my truck, freshly coated from a mud run, that I pulled up next to guys in jacked up trucks. They would give me the dirtiest of looks haha (there are a lot of well equip trucks that only see pavement up here).
 
What gets me is the for sale ads on craigslist, ebay, etc that have pictures of the jeep covered up in mud. They try to convince you in the description how good of a vehicle it is and how they have babied it only to show a picture of how its been abused.
 
I don't really do the mud thing. I don't do the washing thing much either; that being said, I drive a 95 Yj Sahara with half soft top and use it as a daily driver.....meaning: It's a bitch to wash with the electrical components located inside!
 
I wash it every few weeks. We've had sporatic rain here in So Cal so I've laid off until it stops. After a run, I do wash it. Waiting for some good weather to wax it. I don't care how dirt the outside gets, my thing is keeping the inside clean. I have a 4dr now and vowed to keep it clean and there are no water/gatorade bottles in it or papers. The inside is immaculate. I just didn't see myself chasing down water bottles under all those seats.
