Well i went muddin today... got the truck good and dirty and the under carriage well its one large chunk of mud... never new it could be so hard to get a truck dirty... but any way... Now ive got all this mud on my truck and it draws attention some of it good some of it bad. I.E. cops.
I got pulled over not once not twice but 3 times driving from south lubbock to north lubbock, maybe 20 miles. I was let off all 3 times after being told that i need to get my truck cleaned up because it could be hazardous if a large chunk fell off into the road. or something similar to that... Well after spending about an hour at the local car wash... Im about 400lb's lighter and about 1/4 of the way done with the truck... so anybody got any tips to make this go by faster and cheaper...

 

next time drive threw a river before it all dries. boat launches are great for this. the motor in my old ranger was ceramic coated after playin in some clay and not washing the engine off. good ole fan made sure even the intake got it.

 

hmmm... may help mucho with the under carriage just drive back and forth a little bit... thanks...

 

If you spray the underbody with pam cooking spray, or light oil in a spray bottle, the mud won't stick very well, and will just fall off. Mud drag trucks do it to keep them light as can be in the pits.

 

thats what i used to do when i lived im maine. there was alittle creek we had to cross at the end of the trail and we just drive back and forth just enough to throw water up underneith, with the rocky bottom it was all water and not much dirt.

 

i would need a case of pam... My truck isnt exactly small... I could see applying that to a 4wheeler. But a fullsize ext cab long bed truck? It would never end... Thanks for the tip though... can apply that one to the 4wheeler... never though of that.

 

yea well there aint many rocks here in lubbock...

I think i see several hours of pressure washing coming my way... where's mike rowe when you need him... Hey mike i got a dirty job for ya... I will post some before and after pics along with some times too... should be intresting... pics will come when i get to houston as thats where my cords and stuff is at...

 

or the oil in a spray bottle set on mist. They do it to fullsized mud trucks all the time.

 

yea i dont exactly sere my self taking who knows how long to spray the whole underside of my truck with pam... i would be spraying longer thani would be mudding... Maybe i need to make something similar to a paint grenade but with pam.. or blow up a couple quarts of oil underneath the truck... hmmm... now were talkin...

 

just dilute the oil into your pressure washer. then spray that underthere. when it comes time to clean it just go to the car wash and use the degresse spray.

 

With a good spray bottle, I can't see it taking longer than 2 minutes tops to spray the underbody down, but hey thats just me I guess.

 

good idea right there

 

be lucky they let you wash the mud off of your truck at the car wash!! around here you can't wash heavy mud off of your truck at the car washes.

 

X2.......suks..

 

actually the guy got real mad about it... I told him that there wasnt a sign or anything saying i couldn't so yea... and i planned on washing the stuff down into the drain but he shut the water off... so he actually just made more work for his self...
