A few hours of the garden hose, but it does all come off. That clay yous guys got is somethin' else, I lived in the area, VA. Traveled through the south including GA and FL. This is some pretty viscous snot, maybe not THE stickiest, but I don't want nothin' of anything thicker. No, I do too. FREAKED me out, the first time I got in it. Took seconds for the engine to start over-heating, and breathing harder to blow bubbles in that tar. I don't know if you noticed the above pics of the Chevy with the radiator in the bed(tucked between his light bar, behind the cab, the guy with the Ground Hawgs). Good ideas come from experience.

Cool pix's THX ya know I keep thinking about something for yotas to solve the high center problem. These kind of mud holes get rutted for bigger trks ie wider trac and deeper.Wonder if you could rig up some kind of a conveyer type belt with ribs that is rolled up in from bumper with a cable that startes pulling along the bottom.. I know dumb idea but just trying to think "outside the box". If youi had something like that and you alone could make it thru how cool would that be

I like that one, not bad. Sounds more doable than my new far flung dreamspiration, to turn my rig into the first Toyota Half-Track Truck. Like the ol' WWII Half-Tracks. Solves all my needs, good steering because of the wheels in front, ridiculous traction with the tank-type tracks in the rear.
