Default anyone else keep their truck dirty?

this is how my truck looks ALL THE TIME. i never wash it, i love the stares and funny looks i get when i'm driving. only things i wipe off are license plates and lights, everything else stays covered in mud. anyone love the look of their mud covered truck too?

Helps prevent rock chips and keeps road tar or fresh oil from sticking. Think of mud as "body armor".lol Like the truck. Need to get some pics of mine coated like that.

i love those pictures!! i used to keep mine muddy... ill be the first to admit tho, not THAT muddy..... only because my tires dont stick out far enough to get the entire side of the truck so most of mine was from splashing!!...... but its been clean now for a while..... they turned my mudding hole area into a new neighberhood so im lookin for somewhere to go[:@]



but those pictures are awesome......


EDIT- by the way, i was wondering if you have any videos of you wheelin? if not, and if you have a camcorder, DO IT itd be fun to watch!!

I used to keep my old Ramcharger muddy. That is until I realized that mud/sand/dirt helps promote the forming and progression of rust...something I'm not too fond of It's also not real good for the clear coat. That's why I try to keep mine clean and why it doesn't see winters [8D]

If that's something that doesn't bother you, then by all means...leave it muddy.

Something to be aware of, is keeping your windshields 100% clean. You can be ticketed for having your windshield obscured by the mud. I cant remember the appropriate term, but basically its unsafe operation of a motor vehicle.

Great pictures though!

not where I live..

anyways, mines a street truck, the only time she gets dirty is if I need to run a gravel road or something.. then its just 'highway' splash.


i wash her at least once a week depending.
