On the topic of mud what do you use to clean it off?
Spent the weekend mud bashing throught black and red clay and the engine bay and underside has a nice coating.
Budget wash method.
1) Find suitably deep river.
2) Drive in. (note: depending on depth keep motor running !
)
3) let Mother nature do the hard work
4) open door and let the "flow" clean the inside too
5) Drive out (this can be the hard part) make sure you have a strap and a friend near by
6) hey presto !!! all clean
