A Jeep has the aerodynamic properties of a brick. Perhaps with an air dam
and a wing you might increase the mileage a bit, but why bother?

Waxing also helps prevent permanent scratches from
tree branches etc when traversing the trails. :-)

Re: When to wax a new Jeep?
Yup I git the picture.
That's basically what I do.
On my third Jeep now.
First one was a brand new 88YJ 4.2L
traded it for a brand new 01TJ 4.0L. (Should've kept that 88YJ)
Then just recently traded for a brand new 05TJ Rubicon.
Jeepers! I've been driving a Jeep for 17 Years now.
(Not counting the ol Jeep ****** I used to drive on the farm, I once
worked at in my early teens)
AND......LOVEIN IT!!.
Cheers
