Re: Compressor

Nope. Never tried that one. I doubt it would work. You would need high pressure and volume, meaning a good compressor and large tank. The benefit would not outweigh the consumption of precious space.
Best thing to do is avoid the mud when possible.

Re: Compressor

just drive through some water to clear the heavier stuff off till you get home and use a stationary compressor there (or better yet a high-pressure washer)

Re: Compressor

wheel spin is always the best way to clear mud out - not a prob here in the desert - was back in florida... that was the fun stuff there!
