Oh yeah, love it. Got my first mud lesson this week also. Took about four hours and a plastic paint scaper (under the fenders) to get it all off. There's still clogs falling off in my garage. Have fun,LOL.

Have fun,LOL. You need to find the right car wash. There's a carwash about 15 min from my house that promises that your vehicle will be clean with one wash, or they will run it through until it's clean. They don't like me very much.

I am just guessing, but were you following a little close? LOL If you want to clean the underside just put the lawn sprinkler under the Jeep and let it go. Works good. Looks like you have a lot of fun messing it up though.

I was the lead vechicle, my flares are a little short, so I threw all the mud on the top, sides, hood, etc. It is still throwing mud. I spent 30 minutes on it at home (to get the big pieces), then went to the car wash this morning and spent $5.00 at the do it yourself wash, I skipped the wax, just the prewash, foam brush, high power soap, high power rinse, and got most of it, still some in the undercarriage, but that is ok, I figure it will come out in the next couple of days, it was 29 at the car wash this morning and I almost froze my fingers getting it semi clean. It is snowing here now with intermitant sleet episodes. Temperature is still right around 32. We are supposed to have rain, snow mix for the next couple of days, and i figure it will flush the rest out of the underneath parts. That had to be the gummiest stuff I have been in for a long time. The Baja MTZ's cleaned out well though.

Cool pics. I have the same thing happen with the shorter flares. I love a muddy jeep, but its impossible to keep it clean no matter what I do.

I have read about the sprinkler idea before, sounds like it would work. But I had the clay type mud just like kb5xg had. It took some work to get it off from under the flares and other places. Maybe next time I might just let it dry then take it out on one of the many washboard roads out here and shake it off. I can't but agree with you jeepnut it's always dirty, only clean for a couple of days and off I go again.
