Firstly you need to soften the existing mud to a liquid.
Basically stuff a hose pipe in the largest holes and let it run for as long as possible or until it runs clean. Don’t forget to remove the front dumb iron rubber plugs and hose that out as well. Clean out any longer holes with a screwdriver and flush through again. If you can’t blow it out with a compressor then take the car out for a drive then leave it for a few days to dry out. You can also use WD40 or GT85 inside the cross member to drive water out. I use Lanoguard on the chassis, inside and out. I like the DIY aspect of using that, it’s easy and clean to use. Something else I have done is to drill a hole through the rear body work, inline with the corners of the crossmember, and added a grommet. You can hardly see it due to the wraparound bumperettes. This enables me to get the jet wash in there In terms of stopping it, you can’t really. Even if you never took the vehicle off road, or never waded, dirt would still get in and build up, all out of view. Lanoguard would make a barrier. I hope that helps. Take a look at 5.40 for their solution ?si=kVq36XBP0Qn4ELGW |

@markb110 how do you apply the Lanogard to the inside? Small pressure washer attachment is a good shout too. Ah didn’t realise Lanogard had produced a small tube to insert into nooks
