I as wondering what you guys do to clean up/check your truck after playing in some mud, or if you do at all?

Had a bad experience one time, never use to really clean it afterwards until my brakes went out going through a red at an intersection, pretty scary needless to say! Turns out i got some mud in the brake line... Now i thoroughly wash down the undercarriage and check it all out under there to make sure everything is still in working order. Though i leave the mud on exterior for a few days, badge of honor where I'm from!

So, any steps or precautions yall take after some play time?

I just went mudding. I usually pressure wash underneath with few quarters I have. Then put truck on jack stands and take all tires off and clean up good around the brakes and around the skid plate. I want my truck to last long.

For me i always do the inside of the rear bumper, it gets filled with mud, and i do the cross members underneath, as well as the holes in the frame, stick the hose in there to clean it all out. Also the bottom of the doors, there's little holes that like to hold dirt.

I get a lawn sprinkler prefer one that spray side to side, start up front with the hose running down the center under the truck let it spray. sit back have a beer. Pull the hose back as it washes.

Good grief. That's cleaning.

Anyone figured out how to clean up the engine bay? Bit concerned about water with all the electronics. I typically make sure I give the truck a good bath after being in the mud if I am not going to be back in the filth for over a week. If it is real dirty, I like going to a car wash with the wands to get all the mud off.
