Well I went fishing last night and the road up the mountian has just been redone so there is lots and lots of mud I have the AV in autotrac and it kicked in to 4x4 2 times. Anyways I was going to wash my AV today I had mud every were (Pics to come) I even have mud hanging from the finders so I took the hose and blasted it and it did not come off very easy so I went to a coin run op. and use the high pressure washer to get some of the mud off. Even then it was hard. I only had 4 dollars worth so it left one running board with mud so I went back home and washed it forever and then I got it all off. anyways 4 hours later I am done. I do have before and after pics to post when I get some time.
 
Yuck look at my Assist steps remember the pics don't show under the running boards I have dried mud on the cross bars hanging down. You could see it when you were a ways away

I have neither the time nor the inclination. Much as I like it, I won't be a slave to it. Kinda like the Wife. ;)
