Then I took it to a really good car wash. They did a great job on the inside and outside, but the underbody and hood were still filthy.

So, I got home, climbed underneath, and started pulling out grass, reeds, and a few pieces of bark.

I'm still not done cleaning it. Have to take off the skidplate to get more out and there's still other crap that needs to be cleaned out of some small places. But, all in all, just getting that picture was well worth it. Plus, it was a REALLY fun day!

The best way I have found to clean the underbody is to stick a sprinkler under the truck for 15 minute "stations." Than move a little farther down. It works really well. I go the carwash first and get the majority out of the wheel wells, rock rails first.
