I know all the rage of the 16 year old fan base is mud all over the jeep... but lets be honest... mud is sweet til you try to clean it off 3 weeks later. I'm all about getting dirty, but letting your rig rot in mud is one of the quickest ways to ruin joints, cause rust, and even damage paint (if you care about that). Who likes a clean XJ? I normally go wash mine the day of, or at most a couple days after I get it dirty. Something about nice shiney wheels and the clearcoat on the paint that makes me smile walking out to her when I drive it.
Lets see some pictures of your rig all shined up!

I'm a fan of taking the jeep on the trails, getting her dirty, and having a good time... But at the end of the day I like to have a clean jeep. And from a mechanical standpoint, keeping mud on your jeep for extended periods of time isn't good for it. It wears down brakes and u-joints, breaks down seals, traps heat, etc. After playing in the mud i spend at least a hour with the pressure washer getting everything clean again.... But maybe I'm just OCD haha
