The Jee-rage gets a bath!

We made it back to our RV lot in Venture Out in Mesa on Thursday afternoon, October 23. We've been busy with a lot of things while here!

One project was to give the Jeep a much-needed wash... 

"Before" -- it may not be obvious how much dust and dirt is on there, but, it was filthy! Being drug behind a motorhome for days upon days will do that to a toad!

Thankfully, Venture Out has a location for washing vehicles -- it isn't anything fancy, just a hose at a parking spot near the dog park, but it has good drainage and is designed for that purpose. We took our car washing brush and soap and dish pan for scrubbing, along with microfiber cloths for wiping it down after...

"After" -- it is much cleaner, although the finish is really in bad shape -- the clearcoat is coming off in multiple places, making it look very disreputable. But it still runs okay!

We are actually somewhat grateful that the Jeep is not in pristine condition -- it would be hard to subject it to the rigors of towing if it was a beautiful new vehicle!
