Default Cleaning the Belly of The Beast

How? Without laying under my Cherokee and eating it big time, how do I clean the belly? I have searched the internet a number of times for something to add to my garden hose that reaches under there to get all the crap off.

Anyone have a link they can provide, it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Bob

Go to Lowe's or Agway, they should have something like what you are looking for.

I live about 25 miles from the nearest car wash with a bottom blast so I was hoping there was some great product to put on the end of my garden hose so I don't have to bend my old aching back.

last automatic car wash i went through was with my tj on 33's. i got stuck in the track about half way and the car behind me almost rear ended me. they had to turn the track off and i had to drive the rest of it in 4wd.

around here, many just leave a lawn sprinkler under the jeep for a few hours.

They do make sprayers 3-4 feet in length, with a 90* curved head. That you attach to a hose.
Just look at Lowe's or Homedepot, like "SRT-10Jeep" said. Theyre usually in the gardening department or something.

I know they have them here, at the Lowe's, Home Depot. And Aubuchons, & Ace Hardware, has them in there "Automotive" section.
