How to make your self not want to mud 101

[Gunner458]

So here I sit looking at the glory of my 100 series, thinking why the heck did I do this. After many fun filled mud runs it finally came time to clean the car... so here I sit two hours later with only the wheels and wheel wells done. I have sprayed of so much mud, I don’t think even El Chappo could have smuggled this amount in. So now with a cleanish car I’m making plans to go mudding tomorrow, some may say I’m crazy but there’s nothing like it!

And now you've experienced the motivation for the name of this forum.

We want before not after pics... I don't see enough mud under the Cruiser to count as a muddy clean up.

I’ll try to do better next time.

Been there with my previous truck..

fortunately the lc is not as tempting to take into rough situations, so it doesn’t end up covered in mud that much. The LC is a lot easier to clean as well

my drive way has been reddish brown for the past 6 months haha. My wife is always complaining about dodging the "cow pies" in the drive way that fall off the LX.

She made me start rinsing it off at the self car wash down the road.

I've got a nice line of red Georgia clay built up on the lower edge of my driveway. It grows in the wheeling season.

Here is a little Arctic Circle mud from the Dempster.

That's going to be so gratifying to pressure wash.

I run my lawn sprinkler for a few hours underneath, then use regular hose spray to clear up the brakes/pad. I dont like to use my pressure washer for fear of messing something up with the pressure.

cleanup of the loosened mud the next morning:

i don't purposefully look for it, and if i encounter in the trail i avoid it if its just a quick turn of the wheel like a pothole. I hate when i work in truck and dry mud falls on me and have had to clean it for hours when it just couldn't be avoided.. not fun!

You think this is bad, try being a mtb'r. My bike is consistently in a state of mud or dust/dirt (depending on time of year). I go and get her all shiny and clean looking only to quickly take her out.

Two things...
1. Dirt happens,
2. #dirtchurch
