Default Never again

My jeep will never be in a mud hole again after this weekend. I've been cleaning for 4 hours today and still not done and haven't even started on interior. Lol. Strictly climbing/rock climbing/trails from now on.

yeah I'm not a big fan of muddin. Don't mind if it's on trails/crossings etc. Wheelin days with So much mud has given my rigs noises that seem to be permanent after a day of mudding.

I agree maybe a crossing on a trail. But I had the bright idea to go through a large ditch this weekend because I wanted to climb the banks. And at the bottom of ditch it just sunk in mud almost covering the 35s completely. I came out but i know I'm going to be cleaning for weeks. I'm going to sit in on jack stands and clean out the brakes and underneath

Just like waking up with a hangover and swaering you'll never drink again, right? Around here all the trails have mud, so either you live with the cleanup or you cruise the malls.

I understand mud on trails. But there's a difference in mud on trails and a mud hole in my opinion

for sure. A day of playin strictly in mud isn't for me. Here's an old pic on a brief trail crossing in mud, I'll stick with minimal mud.

I consider myself a destination mudder and crawler (also). No sense in jeopardizing your rig because of vanity.

That's a good way of putting it, "destination mudder".

Just wait til you start overheating because your radiator is one big mud pancake. If you were really aggressive in the mud, I'd take off the fan shroud and clean the radiator while you're at it.

Sucks cleaning up, but sure is fun....

....unless you overheat on the way home.
