I agree there is no shame taking care of your investment. A dirty jeep doesn't mean a used jeep with some die hard jeeper, it could just as easily mean some lazy slob that doesn't value the dollar!

I know two people who have a nice JKU Sahara (loaded). They have no intention of ever taking it off road. I show them pics of what I do with mine, and their jaw drops. I tell them on a routine basis, that they don't know what they're missing. You only live once...

I got my 12 stuck the second day I had it. I don't know how people can own a wrangler and not wheel it. I think in the bible its says something about that being the ultimate sin.

I pass by a car wash everyday on my commute and frequently spot the same guy washing his silver JKU Sahara religiously. Once I caught him there 3 times in one week! It's obvious he doesn't wheel it. Sometimes I just want to slap some sense into him.

Reply if you agree
They have the right to drive a modded Jeep around town just as much as you have to take yours out and beat the crap out of it.

Every now and then they go off road once they have had the Jeep for a few years and not afraid of some scratches. The best thing you can do is just tell these people "you would be amazed what they can do off road" and say "you really should try it sometime" and give them some information for a local club.

Earlier this year I wheeled in Gilmer TX with a middle aged lady with a bone stock 2010 JKU she had never even put in 4wd... so sometimes you can get them to come over to our side

I have a 2021 with 22000 on it now loved every bit of it. I've been out with my club about 6 times and many more to come. I wash mine about week & half, got mother natures pin strips, I've made my own rear bumper,and rock sliders that's part of having a jeep and meeting fellow jeepers.

That would be me. I don't offroad it often, but living on dirt roads I gave up long ago keeping it clean. One round trip to work, and it is dusty or muddy again. I am truly too lazy to wash it constantly.

Thats why I need people to keep their JK's in good shape, they are driving my next one.
