Cleaning the outside is the easy part. Look under the hood. That's where the clean up challenge really is.
I was mudding like this about a month ago and had no problem washing the truck off but I never looked under the hood at the time. Couple weeks later I went under the hood to check something and WHAM!, everything was coated in a fine film of dry mud. Now cleaing the engine bay is a pain.
Also gave me a true appreciation of the stock "enclosed" air filter and how it probably helped keep me from ingesting water. An open "hi-pro" filter for sure would have been trashed and posed a serious risk. If you doing this type of off-roading think carefully about the performance filters.
