A clean Jeep is a happy Jeep. A muddy Jeep is a happy Jeep. How do we reconcile these two facts? Dennis Wood reveals the answer to this mindboggling question with his new book written in prose that only a true Jeeper can relate. TeraFlex presents:

A Clean Jeep — by Dennis Wood

As I contemplated the pros and cons of keeping my Jeep clean and shiny, my mind wandered.

I could keep my Jeep in the safety of my heated garage; I could drive it on sunny days, and never go off-road, where the dirt lives.

Some Jeepers wear their mud as a badge of honor, proof that they are in fact a very manly wheeler dude, and at one with the extreme conditions, only experienced in the wild.

Our Jeeps can only reach their fullness of purpose through exposure to the harsh conditions of untamed terrains.

Yes, a Jeep needs to be wheeled… unless of course they be rollin’ on 24s and poundin’ some sound.

(But that’s another demographic.)

I establish that… it’s okay, and maybe even necessary to get my Jeep dirty, and maybe even muddy!

But that doesn’t mean it has to stay that way; what if it got my Jeep dirty?

Over rocks, through water crossings, and even… through… MUD!

Then… Cleaned it!

I could call the fire department; Afterall, this much yuck on my Jeep constitutes an emergency

As I watched the heroes at work, I realized that it was possible to remove said filth from my Jeep and that it looked just like new when I was done.

My clean Jeep says, I care, it says… I respect my Jeep and that I am willing to do my part in making sure my Jeep is well cared for and loved.

(So, how do you take your Jeeps? Clean or dirty? There’s no judgment here. Unless of course it’s parked in the TeraFlex parking lot.)

The End.
