I never take my rig through deep mud but the previous owner obviously did. I kept getting dirt in my eyes while working under it yet it was clean. I found out where all the dirt was hiding. Inside the frame. So I parked it on an incline with the front higher and used a high pressure hose nozzle. I turned the hose on full blast and fed it into the front frame horns as far as it would go. I kept working it till the water came clean out the back. When I was finished I had two gopher mounds of dirt in the street under each frame horn at the rear. At least 2 full shovel scoops.

Has anyone else ever found burried treasures in their Broncos? BH ;D

I hit bumps and muds drops out of truck like something out of a Bond movie. All everyone see's is a 10 lb dirt clod exploded in front of them and needless to say, cars swerve.

My bronco MUST have been a beach bronco. Cause every time I wrench I get sand in my eyes. and if i and "tweaking" (hitting with a hammer) sand pours out of the frame and used to from at top the tanks, but I cleaned both of those. I found an insurance card under my seat, it was one of the internet ones.

I found a stick of gum under my window frame and I also found my door keys wrapped up in a tissue in the drivers side door, but now at days, when I come home from the trail, all I find is these little smashed jeeps around the inside of my tires.... Anyone else run over any little jeets?
