Every week to 10 days, depending upon how muddy it is, or how much time I have. Typically takes about 90 minutes to wash, dry, and treat the plastics. I wax it four or five times each year. I usually give a multi-coat wax job in November, in anticipation of not being able to wash it on a consistent basis during the winter. Often, it's simply too cold.

During the spring summer and fall i try to wash the Jeep at least once every two weeks.
On a quick spray and soak, it will take me about 30 minutes.
When i go all out, washing can take up to about 3-4 hours.
During an all out wash, i simply wash the outside, the flares, the wheels, and tires, spray and hose off the undercarriage, brakes, and then hose out the frame, along with any other place i see more mud. I also wipe down the interior and vaccuum everything.
When i'm done the Jeep always looks great. Even though i wheel my Jeep alot, i love to make it look nice. I think i do too good of a job on it sometimes because people assume it's a pavement princess. i just laugh

30 minutes to wash and another 2 hours to suck out all the dog hair! 
You guys doin the Zaino, my hats off to you it's a lot of work. Decided right away that Zaino was too much for me on this vehicle so use my second favorite Klasse. Not near the shine but lots less work.

I bought mine the end of February and its had one official washing since then. I dont really count knocking the mud off of it as a wash. Washing to me is like the TS said, a full on detail, wax etc.
I need to wash it again, and I will...eventually.
People say, "Geez, take some pride in ownership, wash it!" I reply, "It's a Jeep, it's supposed to be dirty."
