Looks like you had fun playing. Have fun cleaning the mud out of all the nooks and crannies.
It also looks like your buddy in the JK didn't have to fling as much mud with the more aggressive tires. Might want to consider a swap if you plan to play in the mud a lot.

Destroyed? No... it'll be fine. Just bring a few bucks to the local high pressure car wash and get busy. But you WILL be finding mud for a while. The pic below was from March (not NEARLY as mud-caked as yours) and I'm still finding mud coming out of nooks and crannys. (PS: mud flaps come in VERY handy in these situations!)

Ha ha. That's exactly why I stopped running through mud holes. I'll still go down a trail, and if I can't get around the mud I'll go through it. Guess I'm boring now, because I avoid it when I can.
That said, I still enjoying watching others do it, or riding with them when it's not my Jeep to find mud in for the next few months.

Ha ha. That's a great photo. The Mojito really pops with the contrast of the mud.

It's heading your way. A front just came through N.E. Ohio this morning, so it should be there to help you out tonight or tomorrow.

I've had mine for a month but haven't gotten it dirty yet. I don't know where to go around there that isn't private property. There is new housing and commercial building work in my neighborhood and it pains me everyday to just drive by it, especially after it rained.

You can download an app on your phone called AllTrails that could at least give you an idea of some areas around you. Thats what I did. Then again, Colorado is like Jeep heaven lol

Buy a pressure washer.
This is exactly what I did. The first two times I got back from Rausch Creek, I spent at least $20 in quarters, probably closer to 25, at the self wash. Mud and dirt everywhere. I thought I did a good job and found more days later. I bought this small pressure washer called the Cube ( sorry I forgot the brand, but it’s German I think) . Stared washing in my driveway. Way better. It was only about $100 bucks and well worth it.

Pressure washer and use a lawn sprinkler to wash the undercarriage. Mud is acidic and can destroy your undercarriage. Use the water sprinkler and let it sit until the water running off is clear, then move it another foot and repeat.
