Oddly enough the only time I was heckled about driving a 4x4 in a city was when it was clean.

If I left the mud splatter on the wheel arches I never got heckled.

    If you don't "look the part" then people will judge harshly regardless of how (in)capable you are at something.

    Goes for a lot of things in life.

    I never clean mine or have bothered fixing panel damages and paint scrapes. But I take the time to oil and fluid change every 5000 kms lol

    It wasn't made to be pretty, it was made to be reliable and capable.

    It's almost 100% off-roading but gets used as a back up car when the much more efficient and sensible one isn't available.
