Redneck tip for getting the underside clean. Stick a sprinkler under the truck and let it go back and forth under there for a while.

This type works best I've found:



First time I ever saw this method in use I thought the dumb old redneck came in drunk and parked over top the sprinkler, LOL. But it actually works rather well...

yeah, it takes a while because there ain't a lot of water coming out of there and it's not under much pressure, but over a little bit of time, it will saturate the mud and it'll start to just drop right off and eventually clean the entire underside. I usually have to move it once or twice to get the whole underside.
But there really isn't a whole lot of water that comes out of that type of sprinkler and even if you gotta let it go for 2-3 hours to get the whole underside perfectly clean, you probably ain't using much more water than if you took a good looooong shower...

These pics were only taken with my cell phone, not a real camera.

I absolutely love the Hankooks, they are Dynapro MT RT03.

And thanks for the tip hammer....I'm probably gonna have to pick one of those up! The holes are prob too small to get all the mud off so I will drill them a little bigger....lol

Dont drill them bigger or you will lose whatever pressure that thing does have! Good idea hammer, another thing that could help quicken the process would be to spray a bunch of heavy solvent/degreaser on there while its dry before you put the sprinkler underneath, that will make the dirt just slide right off. Look up in your phonebook and see if you have a store called united industrial nearby and they will have the kind of solution that you would want.
