I might, I was thinking I'd just pull her up on the ramps and spray her down!

Undercarriage is still basically the same with a lot more cross-members

HIgh pressure washer at a coin-op place ought to work

Yep. Or if you have a pressure washer at home, use that but make sure to use a 'gentle' spray tip, don't want to damage anything. I'd literally lay on the pavement and spray 'up' into the bottom of my Jeep. Work your way around the car and spray into places you can't reach from the other side. This isn't my daily driver and I'm not taking it out in winter so I do not anticipate doing this frequently. And most likely will simply use the garden hose with an adjustable nozzle. |

I just use my garden hose. I have an adjustable sprayer that has "Angle" and I rinse it down as best as I can.
I've driven it for two winters, and the underbody is in real good shape. Only two screws behind the rear wheels are showing signs of corrosion.
