Cleaning the undercarriage

[Rogillio]

Just took my Raptor off-roading. Performance exceeded expectations. Getting back on the blacktop I slung Alabama red clay over everything.

Since it is not yet a week old, I decided to hose her off. I looked under the truck and there was mud everywhere! Big chunks of mud had filled every thing that would hold mud.

So do you guys wash out the undercarriage or just wait till it rains and let it eventually wash out on its own?

Oh, also noticed plastic wrap coming off the front shocks. I'm guessing the dealer was supposed to take that off. I got most of it off but some is stuck.

I was going to say a water sprinkler too. I wouldn't want that mud to cake hard under there.

I am curious, what are the front jackstands under?

Probably lower arms.

Sprinkler. I also have a hose gun with a pivot and has a soap can so I spray it with soapy water too. Also use the pressure washer with a foam cannon too.

So I like the sprinkler idea, about how long with the sprinkler?

Till the water no longer is dirty and chunks aren't falling off anymore.
