I periodically take a little time at certain mileage intervals to assess my JT. I get underneath it and in a self-service car wash bay put the Jeep on ramps and get to washing. It isn't perfect, I'd prefer a driveway and a regular hose, but such is being a young professional living the rental life.
Thus far I have documented at 1200, 11k, 20k, and 35k

Here are some of the videos showing the type of "off-roading" I go through on the county roads in Eastern KY. It isn't much, I know. But I started out on 31" Falken MTs (the 255/75/R17, not the ones that come on the Rubicons), but after a few sessions of scraping and bumping went to 35" Falken MTs at 15k miles.
Here are some of the selected pics. I have had times where I SWORE I broke something, landed on the driveshaft, something got permanently bent, etc. Nope, things have thus far *knock on wood* been fine. No unusual noises driving (aside from a clunking noise discussed in another thread, which only happens at very specific circumstances). I'm not seeing much if any rust. Control arm brackets have taken a few hits. Mud gets EVERYWHERE and I need to re-wash with a hose, not a pressure washer (just letting it run, not on pressure setting which is little more than a mist). Any wet spots you see are water as these were just after the spray down. Belts look fine to me. But as I am a novice, point out anything you think I should address or get more pics of.
