How the heck are you supposed to clean this?!?

Take the doors back off, fill up a few kiddie pools and send it. ?

Pop out your drain plugs and hose it down. Then leave the windows down or the roof off in the sun (hopefully it's not raining where you are) until it dries out. The carpet isn't that bad. It dries well.

Everyone keeps saying that, but am I missing something? I’m on my phone, but the interior looks fine other than a couple spots on the seat that could be easily cleaned. I’d take it to the coin wash and use the high pressure water and aim carefully. I’ve done it so many times on so many vehicles when cleaning door jams. It works really well and the interior barely even gets wet.

I feel like everyone is acting like it was sunk in the mud and the carpets and all are trashed. It doesn’t look like that scenario.

Got to pull them drain plugs. And run some fans for a few days when you’re not using it.

Yup. I don't pull the doors but there has been a lot of the Mojave Desert inside my Rubi. Shop vac the shit out of it and then scrub it with Mrs Meyer's cleaner (the Everyday, multi-surface cleaner in a concentrate about 1/4 cup to 1.5 quarts of very HOT water). Dry with a Terry Cloth rag (no need to rinse) and don't panic about the bubbles, they go away... and it will come out great. Then let it air dry with the doors open and the windows down. The lavender fragrance makes it smell like you drove it through your wife's flower bed.....

... In our neck of the woods the Summer dust is so bad you learn real quick to not run without doors or you top. You'll asphyxiate yourself with the dust. We ran a loop last Summer and a brand new JL came up behind us ... doors and top off ... I'm sure they were smiling at first, but by the end they were all literally coated head to toe and were next seen essentially bathing off in a creek. Just like a SXS the windshield creates a negative pressure and sucks the dust in ... at least with dust you can somewhat blow it out ... mud? ...

You could fold the windshield down too. Then you get the true jeep experience.

I think you could get the majority of it off easy by soaking with a number of moist but not dripping rags for a few minutes, then wiping away, rinsing and repeating.

Nah ... heat usually goes hand in hand with the dust. I prefer to keep the dirt out by pressurizing the cabin with some AC

Doors on, top off, big wave,
Still some there, still smiling about it

Gobi paint hides 90% of the mud. If you went Gobi, it would always look clean.

A set of front mud flaps would eliminate 95% of that crap on the side of your Jeep.

I got a set of front only RockBlokz in the long and wide size and they are very VERY EFFECTIVE.

I want Gobi soooo bad!

Grab the pressure washer and sit in the seat and aim to the outside. Worked for me in the past with my JK!

That's funny.
Its not just appearance. I was getting pitting in the paint behind the front wheel. Especially on the front edge of the rear flare. Also, keeping the side of teh truck clean keeps the mud off your clothes.

How will they know you drive a Jeep if your clothes are mud free?
