Nothing new, washed it again.

[JeepJeepster]

I still believe we need a detailing section. O

Anyway, it was a delightful 35F, so I figured, why not. I went ahead and washed mine and the Grand.. I didnt get any pics of the grand though.

Nothing like the water freezing on the jeep and the driveway while Im washing it. \/

I agree!

Oh yeah, and water freezing on the Jeep and driveway is the BEST part about washing it in the winter!!!

Are your tires sticking out a bit because of backspacing? Looks great, wells are crazy clean as always Tires now look so much better, not as aggressive but still great

I couldn't be you. I went to the DIY spray wash, spent $2 just to spray the salt off and I was done. My hands were near stiff when I was done. That was 2 days ago, and thankfully it still looks somewhat good today.

Then again, it's 30ºF colder here.

Question, how much total lift do you have?

 

[JeepJeepster]

Yup, tires stick out b/c of the BS on the rims. Its amazing how much better it handles with those rims than it does with the rims like yours. It slides so much in the rain with the HP's ,I dread going back to those. Ive got to save the tread on those tires though. O

Marlon, I have right at 3" of lift with those wheels on. I just swapped out the OME front springs for the Rustys spings to fix the nose down effect. Couldnt stand that. I also added two conduit nuts under the clevis.

Ah. I thought it was lookin just a little bit higher than mine was. I might be reinstalling this lift because I can't even unload it on eBay. :-s

I do not know what is worse.....Washing the KJ, watching the water freeze, waiting a half hour in the garage to unfreeze it, detailing the shit out of it and going to work with it clean??OR watching a 20min. blizzard, just enough to get everything covered, driving home from work, and the KJ dirty again ALL in the same day...TIS was my experience today and it *****. ](*,)

I guess that makes up for the lift, balances it so it still looks nice, not ugly-lifted.

Sometimes I wonder if the world hates me. I wash the Jeep in freezing weather... The weather says they are giving a 30% chance of flurries.. I wake up this morning and they have canceled church.. I look out and see this. ](*,)

at least it's clean,***** don't it

 

[hyde]

Maybe you should buy a new front grill, and paint it black, and swap it when you go offroading, it seems like it would look good from that ^ angle

sorry bad edit, but makes the point:

That is exactly why I only spray off in the Winter!

you got salt up there? I ahven't washed for a while as well.. it's a mess

 

[Renegade Flex]

im actually on the island and theres nothing but salt... i cant imagine that would do good for my paint and undercarriage.

do i risk causing any damage if i dont get a wash soon?

yes and no. Yes, that of course salt literally eats away at steel or metal exposed. But no, it's not like you're going to go out there next week and the entire undercarriage is rusted out.

I usually try to wash it ASAP after a "salt storm". If you have one of the drive through car washes that do the undercarriage, they work pretty good. Drive slowly forward, but not too far forward that you trip the sensor and make the jets go off. After driving forward, back up slowly, then pull back forward. Repeat this process untill the jets shut off (they're on a timer if you dont hit that sensor I talked about).

However if they're calling for anymore, or any rain with in the next week (or anything that would stir up the salt on the roads, therefore defeating the purpose of washing your vehicle), i'll wait untill the weather is going to be clear for a week or so.

 

[hyde]

Yes what he ^ says.. I never wash until I know that they won't salt again..
They have been salting everywhere since last week .. this morning we had a little trace of snow, and it is again salt everywhere.. So, it doesn't make any difference.

WE have under carriage wash but it is auto roll, so we cannot go back and forth, let it roll, and it is supposed to wash undercarriage.
Mine is already all rusted everywhere, anyway... ](*,) damn nyc roads

how about if I spray myself. with the city water.. it is very hard water, but at least should be better than salt.
