Re: thorough mud cleanup
Flash back! :-( Fortunately, my truck and I:
http://www.----------.com/billsM37.jpg only pulled one of those Winter
ten day camping trips, while I was in Germany. That one, I was pulled
into and out by tracks, and mud was everywhere. Trying to wash off my
truck with on one of the coldest days of the year, was just adding ice.
At least. it was at one these off base German operated wash racks, where
I didn't have to clean up the mess, too.

Hi Fred,
Yup, but they're a lot stronger as compared to a frame that rusted
out. Just like every door has drains, you do keep them clean, and free,
right?

Re: thorough mud cleanup
Better yet, go to a $10 Simoniz place like Mr. Wash (if you're near
Pensacola)or the equivalent. If it comes out muddy, they have to send
it through again free :)

Re: thorough mud cleanup
I had a Jeep friend tell me the first thing I wanna do is put a body lift in
so it's easier to get the mud out and is better for the Jeep in the long
run...
