no retreat, no surrender
Hi. I'm up above SLC, UT; at about 8000' in the Wasatch. Salted Highway up = slush that gets thrown all over the sides of my JKU. It's new(ish). Bought it this summer, 2011 Wrangler 4 door. I put Goodyear Duratracs on, and they really sling the slush. I don't have a garage. I've done a lot of mods to make this jeep good for me for work... I work in the back-country, camping 1 or 2 weeks at a time. Plus planning some major adventure trips with this one. That said; I'm trying to stay ahead of the rust issue... I want this jeep to last me a lot longer than the last one did (didn't care for it properly)... and this is what I'm wondering:
What about putting on some kind of mud flaps, that I can remove when going off road? (And when snow season is over) Anyone done anything like this or? What do you do? Washing it off is not an option, as even if I could keep a hose unfrozen, it would turn my driveway into a skating rink... I do wash it - including the undercarriage every trip to town... but driving back up the mountain, it just gets coated again.
Any suggestions?
