One of my off-roader military cousins is selling their vehicle as being deployed overseas so we came here to get it "professionally detailed" for that extra wow factor.
A dirty or muddy truck to many of my relatives and friends is a badge of honor across the truck's body for all to see that they've been off-road life; or in snow, mud, sand, or water; or helping another in distress. Among their truck must-haves are MaxTrax traction pads to help extract and plow through loose terrain, snatch straps to attach to another vehicle's recovery points and pull one from a snag, a high-lift jack and base to elevate the rig and change a tire on any terrain, a patch kit to cover a tire tear temporarily, a shovel to dig out of trouble, work gloves, headlamp or other light source to illuminate the issue, set of search lights mounted near door mirrors to illuminate the sides, jump starter to overcome a dead or faulty battery, air compressor, snorkel (first check water depth at deepest point to make sure you aren't driving into disaster), good set of AT or MT tires to air-down when off-road, and an emergency kit. You can get fancy with equipment like winches, these carry a hefty weight penalty and aren't necessary for the average off-roader. My relatives and friends are far from average off-roaders. They first spent a lot of time practicing, and always have a mental image of their vehicle and the terrain in their head while off-road. They always bring a buddy in another equally equipped vehicle.
When the off-road fun is over, air your tires back up with compressor so you don't kill your fuel economy on the highway or worse - unseat a tire from its rim.
The vehicle now dirty from being off-road quickly brings teasing to clean it from those who don't off-road.

I recommend that before you leave that you thoroughly inspect your vehicle to make sure that what you paid for is what they actually did.
I rate this business 3 stars. According to Yelp ratings' definitions, that's "Ok". That to me is an acceptable rating of something that does day in and day out what it is there to do. It's NOT a negative review because doing day in and day out what it is there to do is NOT an easy thing to accomplish.
The owner(s) of this business like their Freedom so they have a Military and Veterans Discount as a thank you to Veterans with a publicly disclosed daily Veteran Discount which provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population. That's what earned them the fourth star for going beyond what they're in in business to do.
February is Black History Month
After several years of being homeless Elegance Bratton enlisted in US Marine Corps. After scoring well on the Marine Corps entrance exam, Bratton was offered several options. One was to learn film-making and make instructional videos for the Marines. Bratton accepted.
Marine Corps provided him a family, Bratton said, one that he supported and that cared for him in return. "A drill instructor told me that your life is important, and you are important, and you matter. You have a responsibility to protect the Marine to your left to your right. That notion was transformative for me, because I had never had that kind of trust from someone before. And to be honest, it was enough. That's what I needed to hear to kind of turn my life around."
Bratton said the Marine Corps was instrumental in helping him develop an identity and that he and his fellow Marines were able to learn to accept and embrace the different ways of life they all led. "The Marine Corps is where I learned how to not only listen to people who are very, very different from me, but how to form meaningful human connections with them. This dysfunctional family helped me to love myself more, even as they asked me to repress myself." Bratton, black and gay, Served during the era of government's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy for non-heterosexual people.
After his Honorable Discharge from the Marines he earned an undergraduate degree from Columbia University and an MFA from NYU's Tisch Graduate Film program. Bratton's award-winning short films have played in some 150 film festivals worldwide including Sundance, Outfest and the American Black Film Festival. read more
