There will be mud hidden in crevices,nooks ,crannies,inside the frame, absorbing and storing moisture, FOREVER! impossible to remove huh.
fun, but I wouldn't want to plan a long term ownership on that one.
it will be one that rots away early.

Happy, I've been off roading since I was a kid. The mud can be fun, but it can also cause a lot of problems along with water too. I made stupid mistakes early on, but learned quickly. If you can believe it our hummer looked just like his 2 days ago. Yesterday it looked like this again. 
Although we don't do crazy offroading and climbing so much with our 3. we do trails and mud. We scrub from head to toe once a week on Sundays. It takes us 6 hours each sunday from start to finish with only a break to eat. Yesterday it took us 8 hours. When we are in mud we put it up on the lift and get under and spray every nook and cranny there is. I use super thin brushes and I have some other tools I use to clean small areas. When in deep stuff it is important to have vent tubes rerouted and longer ones. You can eat off the bottom of our hummer. Not a spec of anything anywhere.
My first off road vehicle was a ranger, which was a retired show truck when i bought it. Within 6 months rear end was out...........frozen because of water damage, snapped all 4 shocks. Fenders were rusting through already. That from being a shiny clear coated paint job when I first bought it. I never sprayed the mud off uderneath. Found out how expensive this hobby can be early on from that one. Learned my lessons, but still keep on trucking. We like to get it dirty and have fun, but we are meticulous with the maintenance and cleaning.
Keep on wheeling rick stang, i do although hope you have added some higher vent tubes.
