    I get a bunch of stuff pack inside the frame. Do you think drilling a could 1" holes along the bottom would make cleaning the inside of the frame easier.

    The more holes in the frame, the quicker mine would probably fill up with sand/mud here in MS. I have even considered making plugs for the existing holes in the boxed frame. But the best idea is probably to just pressure wash or at least hose out the interior of the frame at regular intervals. Same with all of the control arms as they also fill up with sand/mud.

    I get that but no matter what you do it'll still get in there. Might as well make it easy to clean out. Maybe if someone knows of some pretty rugged body plugs that might be a good option.
