    Against the opinions here, i think i still want to try one of these products out. My mind keeps circling back to it.

    I think i want a standard hose attachment version, and not a power washer one. But thats something to decide when its slightly warmer.

    Speaking of which, I completely forgot what I've been using. If you have a power washer, this works great. I bought a drain blaster attachment. It's basically a flexible hose with a nozzle at the end. I feed it into a hole in the frame and go to town. Seems to work pretty well.

    I was actually thinking about getting one of their undercarriage blaster-things. I think they had one that looked like it would work better on a lifted vehicle than others.

    I have heard that those vent cleaner attachments for drills work well to knock off dry dirt from inside the frame.

    I do plan on buying one of those wheeled power washer attachments to spray the underside of the truck with the power washer.

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    I have an undercarriage attachment for the power washer and it works well. I haven't done the drain cleaner attachment but I have a universal joint attachment for the spray nozzle that gets in their and some of the other nooks and crannies in quarter panels and the skid plate.

    Nothing wrong with trying it out! Just don't rely on it solely. I think you have the right idea of mixing in other ways. The undercarriage spray and frame blast actually sounds like a solid plan.

    Just got back from NY State (up there by the finger lakes) and wow, we have nothing to complain about compared to them. it was 6 degrees on Saturday and it had just rained and snowed the day before. They use only salt on the roads so you can imagine how bad the vehicles were. My army green looked like it was grey and my black wheels looked white by the time I got back!

    NoVA...I have a few items off my truck that I'm listing in here before BST. I also have a bunch of stock stuff that I will either be selling cheap or paying forward. If you know anyone looking for the below aftermarket items, give me a holler:

    - Frameless, auto dim rearview mirror w/homelink - new for $249, selling for $100.
    - Custom Delrin V2 (made by @7r41lbr34k3r) shift knob with aluminum core and TRD Off Road engraved on the top, originally for an AT but drilled out to fit the 3rd Gen MT - selling for $100.
    - Diode Dynamics SS3 LED Sport fog lights with backlight - new for $319, selling for $150. (dibs called by @fatfurious2)
    - Diode Dynamics SSC1 Yellow LED Pods (ditch lights) with brackets - new for $239, selling for $100. (dibs called by @crashdb)
    - Switch Pros 9100 with SDHQ bracket and custom mount for M/T (clutch reservoir hole) - paid $650 for the SP9100 and can't remember for the bracket/mount, selling for $300.
    - Pro Eagle 2-ton Big Wheel Jack, has a bit of corrosion on it but still works totally fine - selling for $200.

    Stock items I'm also getting rid of:

    - Stock leaf springs - $100.
    - Stock TRD Off Road Bilstein suspension (front/rear) - $200.
    - Stock UCAs - free.
    - Stock exhaust for DCSB - free.

    :rofl: The ditch lights, right? Technically the fogs are yellow too. Yours good sir.

    I think they only fit the 3rd gen...but you are welcome to them! And I agree with the meetup, although I'm not going anywhere. Just finally moving on to an LC250.
