chassis cleaning

[coxsy]

used screwdrivers first then a arc welding rod 3 spades of dirt out of the chassis

[Mudde1]

now that you have done yours, feel free to come and do mine as well.

had another go a couple of hours later and got more out of it

i put the hose into the rails after each trip. i have the either the front or the rear wheels on a decent ramp and use the water preasure to flush the crap out. with mr gravity helping along the way

it will take 2 to 3 decent washes from srcatch to flush the mud etc out then just a wash after each trip will keep it clean

high volumn with house preasure does a better job the low volumn and using a water blaster

watch each hole in the rails as you wash and only move the hose down once clean water is pouring out of the hole

it will take a lot of time and you will get wet but i believe knowing that there is no muck in the rails assisting rust along is well worth the effort

X2 ... helps when the rear bumpers are off to,
I stick the outside tap off the cowshed pump (High pressure and high volume) and keep it running till the water runs clear out of every hole

why worry about rust just have the rocker cover breather venting to one of the chassis rails and swap it over once a month

Last time I did mine the same way, I got two 9 ltr buckets full
Then I washed them out using the hose, blocked the drain outside the garage think I'll do it out on the road over the stormwater drain
