Default Post trail/mud checks.
Hat are your after wheeling rituals? I spray off my undercarriage with a hose, then sit my sprinkler up under it for a while. Any other checks I should be doing?

I make sure to get the inside of the wheels/rotors/calipers cleared of any muck.

Change all fluids? Oil/trans that kind of thing?

I would only change fluids if you went through water and suspected contamination. For normal wheeling, that's a bit overkill.

I agree fluids are vital, check them after and before each trip.

I look for new holes in my tires and retorque steering connections.
