I tried once, the manager came out and ripped me a new one for even owning "such a ridiculous hunk of metal"

I took mine through the auto wash once. They didn't say anything but my truck wouldn't trip the sensor to start the wash so I had to go through twice and my stinger screwed it up so my hood didn't get washed and it broke the clips on the back of my antenna mount. So yeah not doing that again.

They initially got mad at me for the stinger, then for the big tires, then the rear bumper and of course the CB antennae

We used to use the you power wash splash and dashes, after doing some serious mudding.  I don't normally wash my truck, but when there is a couple hundred pounds of mud packed in your wheel wells, frame and bumpers.  Usually we would end up plugging up the drain.   :eyebrow:
