Mud everywhere

[ontheheel]

I normally avoid mud because of the pain it brings for months afterwards. Having said that, I’ve driven many vehicles through very muddy situations, and never seen anything like how badly the Bronco gets caked in every single crack and crevice. I had to hit a single muddy spot on a trail back in October (!), and I’ve been finding and cleaning out massive discoveries of new mud periodically. This is after shoving a power washer every place I could multiple times over the past four months.
Anyone have any guidance on avoiding this in the future? Mud cleaned out with zero effort from my TJ, so this is new to me.

Fill all the nooks and crannys with unripe bananas. Plantains won't do.. don't waste your time. Bananas. Unripe.

Got it. Will do.

When you say you shoved a power washer everywhere it fit, did you use something like this?

M MINGLE Pressure Washer Undercarriage Cleaner, Under Car Wash, 4000 PSI (13 Inch)

This may be obvious but I find this helps a lot.

x3. But not a Rob. And was gonna post the same tool. I got one for Christmas but haven't had a chance to use it yet

OP, not sure why the Bronco would hold more mud than any other vehicle. I personally try to avoid it when possible and stick to the rocks.

FYI Direct Tools Outlet and other stores sell this as the Ryobi Water Broom. I'm in the next time they have a coupon code.

Blue, we’ll make you an honorary Rob!
The only spots I’ve found a little more difficult are the tops of my skid plates and top of the heat shield above the muffler but you can access that if you pop the plastic tray out in the cargo area. Of course I went up to the bottom of my doors through a deep, long mud puddle up in Bridgeport. I’ll be avoiding that as much as I can.

Speaking of Bridgeport, you heading out there Sunday for the Bronco meet-up thing?

Be sure to flush your frame. Even though there are drain holes, they aren't all that effective. I have found that the rear longitudinal frame rails have been packed with sand when I swapped bumpers even though I was diligent in cleaning the undercarriage. For that reason, I bought the chassis flusher from Salt Shift.

Probably not going to make it this time.

Is that @Rick Astley working a side gig in the double denim ?
