After "mudding" maintainence
What should I do to maintain the jeep after mudding. Not very hardcore just driving through a muddy field. Should I check fluids? Check bolt specs?

U want to clean the mud out of everywhere. I stay away from deep mud as much as possible. It's a pita to clean up from. Just not my thing.
A pressure washer is a great investment! Get a gas one.

It would be a good idea to think about changing your diff fluid. Also check to make sure your breather hoses are actually still attached. Sometimes they get ripped off in heavy mud. Get under there and spray everything down.... And then do it again tomorrow because guaranteed you'll find more mud

You really don't have to worry about anything else.
I've submerged my JKU and tackled deep mud with no troubles afterwards.

Don't forget to thoroughly clean radiator fins, don't use a power washer for that, also make sure clumps of mud are not caked on your rims inside and out, this will prevent tire wobbles.
Make sure your breaks work well before goin to traffic, did that once and had to slam on the breaks real hard to avoid a collision.
Do you air down your tires when mudding? Have fun!

Mudding maintenance is a HUGE pita especially for new jeeps. Electrical problems, fluid changes, breaking stuff off, the stench, mold and mildew, months later you still won't have gotten all the dirt out. Pulleys and belt don't like it, radiators don't like it and i hope you took out all your carpet first. But oh my god it is freaking fun! Its amazing what your jeep can do! Better have a lift, snorkel and decent tires if you're going deep though.
