Default Another 2wd mudder w/ ?'s(pics)

I went 2wd mudding today, and my truck did alright. It was alot of fun, but the cleaning wasnt. Im still not done cleaning all the mud and already spent $8 at the carwash.Any tips on how to quickly remove all the mud from the underbody or do yall just leave it and let nature take its course? Here my truck if half way clean, still tons of mud underneath.

if your gonna keep muddin, invest in a pressure washer for the home about $ 250-300

but then you have all that mud in your driveway

mud will hold water and cause rust quicker. put some goggles on and crawl under there with the pressure washer.

btw....mudding really is a bad idea.....between the mess it makes, scratches and chips in your paint.....breaking parts, and getting the grainy sand in your moveable parts....wears them down in no time! fun, but there are better things to do, that are just as fun

Sorry didn't want to thread Jack, so I made my own thread. Anyway..is it ok to spray the bottom of the motor from underneath also , because the bottom of the engine bay is muddy, and I don't want to mess anything up while washing it? Excuse the newbness, I'm only 20 w/ 2wd so I don't have any after-mudding experience.
