There is a carwash in Rocky that has a ramp you can use and it is AWESOME.  It sure makes quick work of cleaning the undercarriage

pressure washer rules ...  I tried the 'lawn sprinkler' underneath for 1hr on the weekend ... a tip I saw in jpmag

it cleans but another 48hours required to get to same point as pressure washer ...

Not to highjack

This just reinforces the fact that I need bigger tires....  My rig's got some growing up to do.  I look at yours and I think JEEP!  I look at mine and it's more like jeep.  Starting the OT binge at work this friday to fatten up the wallet.

Up here, the lawn sprinkler is used to keep the mud soft so that it doesn't turn into concrete before you can wash it :)  I use it to soften up the mud before I pressure wash if I have the time, but then I pull up on the lawn and pressure wash the nice dirt onto the lawn so I don't have any bylaw folks bugging me.

Let's put it this way, where I wash the jeep is considerably greener and longer than the rest :D

I just have to make sure I start aerating regularly, this yard is compacted enough already :(
