Clean and shined up (pics)

Well, I had a little spare time today, and after taking the very scenic route home, I couldn't even see out of my side mirrors from all the mud. I could barely find any clean spots at all on it, and sad to say, I Had my camera, but seemed to forget my memory card, so no before pictures of it. Rain washed off a little of it on the way home, so I decided to finish the job. after about 5 hours of work, I had cleaned every spect of dirt and mud I could find. up inside the bumper, wheel wells, skid plates, and everywhere else I found it hiding. Anyways heres the pics. I've added the TRD stickers, vanity plate, and rear window stickers since my last post just to let you know. Enjoy!

haha yea, still smells like cooking mud though. I tried to just spray out my engine bay but all the mud seems to be baked on in there, so It looks clean as long as you dont lift the hood lol. Anyone know any secrets to cleaning the engine bay?

Cover up electrical parts and then pressure wash it. Get to the rest by hand. That's how I did it, and it turned out real nice and I did it twice already. I have pictures, but sadly no time to put them up. Maybe later.

Oh and by the way, shoot some water at the bottom of the radiator, you'll be surprised how much mud will come out.
