the last time i visited a dealer for maintenance was in 2020 or 2019 (or something like that) at my local toyota dealer. Told them not to feed it through the machine wash and they said "we can't feed yours through with the ditch lights and roof rack and light bar on top anyways. don't want to run the risk of breaking your stuff and our machine"
then later on i found out People's Republic of Commiefornia made them stop doing complimentary carwashes due to the drought.
so what have I learned?
-live somewhere where a government can get its hands on how a private business conducts business so the dealers can't wash your truck even if they have that irresistible urge to do it when you tell them not to.
or
-if the dealer uses those automatic wash machines have some mods that look intimidating so the dealers will not want to have that liability. if the dealer uses manual labor to wash it... god help you.
All jokes aside, my new year resolution is to try and stay away from puddles on the trails as much as possible since there's no way I can keep my truck as clean as
@ferraiolo1 . baby step, my friends, baby steps.
That doesn't look like much but the entire under side was covered in thick mud. I cleaned out at least 1 5-gallon buckets worth of mud from the underside.
