I usually hose everything down and then do a damage check. I check all fluids and air filter. I usually re-torque my suspention components and my intake manifold since I redid the suspention and new intake too. I will sometimes run some of that carb/fuel system cleaner stuff that goes through your fuel tank that promisies better milage but it doesn't deliver on that empty promise.
Oh and air up my tires
Also depends on how deep and hard you pushed your rig too.

I wash it down, then wait until the last minute before the next trip,
work my arse off to get ready to go. As long as it has all 4 wheels.

All of the above items, plus:
Re-grease all greaseable items under the truck - tierod ends, draglink ends, u-joints, spring bushings, etc.
Check ALL fluids, change if milky/dirty/burnt (this means T-case and axles, too).
Look at stuff that should be straight - if it's bent, fix it.
Check tire pressure.
Check/replace air filter. Cheap insurance...
As already stated, some of these things are dependent on where and how you 'wheel.

That really depends on what you do. After a ttrail ride I may or may not wsh it. After mud, I have to pressure wash it top to bottom and change/grease almost everything. After rock crawling, I check for bent stuff and change the air filter.
All of the above items, plus:
Re-grease all greaseable items under the truck - tierod ends, draglink ends, u-joints, spring bushings, etc. x2, this is a good one...
Look at stuff that should be straight - if it's bent, THINK ABOUT fixING it.

First thing I do is put the left over beer in the fridge , and empty the ice out of the cooler .
Then if nothing is broke , I don't do anything until the next wheeling trip . We get back late Sunday and too beat to work . I do go over everything before a trip

And check your shock bolts/nuts, 'specially the rear top mounts.

After a good mud adventure, I pull my front tires and clean the brakes.

That exact color scheme netted me approximately 1/.000024 % more sex appeal. Thats with respect to Jeeps, of course.
