It was the passenger's seat I got covered in mud.Don’t get out in mud, problem solved. Other wise make friends with your service guy and ask for some the of the paper service mats.
also you can always hose out the Jeep.
Actually, it's the worst mud I've been in in a while. It's slick, it's sticky, and it has no sand underneath. Water standing on it would help.Good photo.
That's real mud!
Mine was slime. January thaw. Dirt road.
If you had a shot of your mirror you'd see my sport stuck waayyy back thereAll my photos are from behind the wheel. There's enough to clean outside without bringing it in.
Thanks.Sounds like a pretty successful excursion if you ask me.
HOWEVER:
1. Try to explore in pairs....if you get stuck....and you will eventually....having another Jeep and friend makes it a great learning experience for all. Having to walk or wait on recovery...not so good of a learning experience.
2. If you do go out alone...prepare yourself...best as you can for self recovery and some basic trail emergency gear......winch is worth every penny if you get stuck.
3. Perspective....if you think you got a little muddy.......well.....wait until you really get stuck in the mud....
You will have a whole new perspective on that issue.
But sound like your having fun.....and that’s what Jeep life is all about.
I haven't had a chance to explore it much, but I have gone in to take a look around and I didn't fully understand it. Is it just member galleries? Sort of like Pinterest (but for us and our Jeeps)?Yeah I solved this issue with the front flaps I bought. See my garage.
I'm no expert, but I recently put on side steps, which does seem to improve the mud spray (I'm no longer getting a handful of dirt when I grab the door handles). They make some step/rock rail combo types, but mine are just knock-off Mopar plastic....
I gotta figure a way to keep the mud outside. On the Jeep. Not inside.
Any hints for a rookie?
I'm a rookie too, but I'm also a geocacher and I have experience with in and out in poor conditions. My advice is to simply let the dirt happen if you can't avoid it. These pictures were taken last September (in my Pathfinder), and yes... those are rain pants. I'm also a bit of a clean freak so I REALLY had to let it go on that day... LOL We were SOAKED, but with all the in/out that we were doing this was completely unavoidable. The only protection I could have (and should have) offered my seats (are yours leather or cloth?) was to sit on a towel. That said, Jeeps are designed for muck. Even the dash can handle a surprise rain storm if you get caught with your top off. If you're going somewhere where mud will happen, just wear easily washable clothing, and do your best to not get dirty. And when you do, just laugh it off and go find some more smiles. It is a Jeep after all. Mud happens. Be one with the mud, man!I'm plain clumsy getting in and out.
BC is really beautiful. I hear that from a lot of people, how they came to visit and just never left. We don't get rain like that often here though. Hardly ever, in fact. Just a lot of snow in the winter, but also a lot of sunshine. We call spring "The big melt" (or the melting season), so also a lot of big mud. This was yesterday. Cross country skiing at +6C (and only a 20 minute drive away) is some kind of wonderful.Good hint. Northern BC. incredible. I felt roots for the first time during a trip to BC a while ago. Left when I was a toddler.
