If you run a search you will find at least one long thread on this subject.

Many of us like to wear our Jeep's mud and grime as a badge of honor for weeks.

Personally, I think it's a bad idea for two reasons:

1. Metal particularly on the undercarriage (suspension, steering and driveline) and grime don't coexist well. Usually grime gets the best of metal.

2. A grimmy undercarriage makes it difficult for regular inspections, maintenance or trail repairs.

Maybe I am just old school, but I have always believed it was good insurance to clean my four or two wheel, four leg or double barrel toys before I put them away, so I can use them next time.

Mine usually stays dirty for two or three days before it get a good bath. It's funny though, that seems to be the only time it every gets washed.

too cold up here to wash so i just wear the mud or risk getting frozen out of my jeep for awhile. Not only that but Jeeps look better with dirt on them.
