I wash my rubi right after wheeling at the closest car wash. I don't want the mud in my driveway.

Also Chrystler might void the warrenty if it is dirty.

Up the hill (starting at 11k feet), covered in mud....
made it look like it is a creamed color jeep and not silver.
Now I know why I don't want the same color fenders.

Practically right off of the lot, less than 100 miles on it... I had to test the "Best in Class."

Not gonna lie, the wife was not happy about me ripping off the plastic airdamn, getting it so muddy, and scratching one of the wheels with it being so new.

I understand this is "JK Talk," but I fail to see the point of this thread.

Just like every other auto manufacturer in the universe, Jeeps are commonly sold to the average Joe who will never offroad them, nor carry a payload beyond a bag of groceries. If Chrysler provided the Jeep marque to only serious offroaders or those who like to get them dirty, they'd sell so little inventory that they'd have gone out of business a long time ago. If anything, you should be grateful these people help keep the brand alive.

If there was a massive shortage of Rubicons because yuppie rich people scooped them all up and you've been unable to score one as a result, maybe I'd nod. But this just seems like yet another holier-than-thou protest of other people doing what they want and it having absolutely nothing to do with you.

Kind of reminds me of this pointless, irreverent thread.

I keep mine shiny on the road and don't care if it gets dirty on the trails.

This thread reminds me of Art Linkletter's, Kids Say The Darndest Things.
