We had quite a bit by the end, but regardless that stuff is like clay. I’m still finding mud from that trip.
Never doing mud again

I feel your pain, it’s hard to avoid in Michigan…..
Hehehe,
I'm still finding mud in places and I've had my Jeep torn apart to include cutting the frame in half. But it won't stop me from playing when it's wet out. Crap you can't live in the PNW and not get wet now and then.

FIFYOh don't worry your not done yetyou will be finding left over mud for YEARS to come

I t
You won’t have to. That’ll be with you for life.
OP, that's not real mud, just a soupy puddle. It used to cost me $30 at the car wash just to spray off the heavy stuff.
If you do any wheeling after you move out east, you'll need to deal with mud. Unless you keep the Jeep in Cali and fly out to go wheeling... Anything easy of the Mississippi will be muddy. Not 100 percent, but there will be puddles and pits. Slippery climbs, waterfalls with actual water in them.
I’ve made it through them at times, but this last trip not so much! The ruts are just so deep, mix that with clay and it’s a losing battle. I had to be winched out twice on this last trip.
I agree, all that mud, eww thats why the only 4 wheelin I do is at the mall ! And it takes me hours to get my angry bird grille clean after that !
Looks like volcanic ash!
Just remember to flush your frame well. And drill the drain holes also in your frame. I use to turn the hose on and let it run for 10-20 minutes but this is still what I had inside my frame.
@Nucklenelson was at the San Gabriel OHV area. It’s at the end of the reservoir. I used to go there and watch the heavy’s try and stuck themselves by dipping into the reservoir, extra thick out there. There used to be a guy that had a PTO winch for extraction. Sometimes it would take a chain of trucks all hooked up to get the really stuck ones out. Good times, especially when I got invited to their “beach-side” BBQ, those Azusa 4WD club guys ares serious(gangsters) about their food and 4x4’s.

i cant believe they allow you to drive in a lake in commiefornia ! you might disturb the mosquitoes or some other bullshit the tree huggers can come up with.
Only once for me.. The mud had dried up so I put a sprinkler under the TJ and let it spray for quite a while to loosen up the mud. Made a hell of a mess on the driveway.
