What use is a 4x4 when it's clean, I just don't get it?  It remindes me of when I watch a movie and see some punk holding a handgun sideways.

It's a good thing it says 4x4 on the windshield, or the driver might forget that it can go off road.  ;)

Not sure I'd call it "detailing", but yeah, I washed and waxed it. :)

I wondered what happened to my desert flock.

I lost 4 weeks rental on 7 perfectly groomed sheep because some off roader was being "pushy"

Now I know where to send the bill.

I hate cleaning tires. This is the dullest tire foam I could find. :)

Eagler, if someone claybars, polishes, then waxes, using a random orbital polisher, then I consider it "detailing". If not, its just as Sandy said, a wash and a wax.

I think bling bling shiney tire sidewalls are rediculous looking. Griots Garage has a very nice tire gel that leaves a semi-flatwaterproof sidewall when finished.  It lasts about 2 months. I love this stuff!

How does that thing do on gas milege, ESUVO(Evil  SUV Owner) ? I'm guessing it does pretty well, 18-20 mpg>
Title: After five years, it still cleans up nice...

It's anywhere from 16 to 19 depending on how heavy my foot is.

Offroad, it's more like 13.

From what I read, the new ones get better mileage and they have more horsepower... the bastards.


...and don't lump me in with the rest of the  *******s driving 90 MPH in their 6000+ pound yuppie shopping carts. ;)

What? You don't have a set of 24" spinning-hub wheels for that yet?

I read somewhere (or maybe I heard it) that large diameter wheels affect gas mileage and not in a good way.

Is this true?

True sandman...just think...your vehicle is working harder to rotate heavier wheels over more of a distance.

R u Oh Ricerocketrodeoerwithoneness? :)

  I agree to a point though. I`ve seen quite a few with giant HD logos on their back windows in their PUs and cars.
  I`ve always thought "how very wannabeish", not too mention lame.
  As far as clothes with HD on them...logo apparel is sort of the thing around here and has been for a long time. NASCAR, team shirts, product logos on clothing etc is pretty normal. I hardly ever tape one of my HD Ts to the windshield though. :)
