Recently returned from a trip up to
Rainbow beach and surrounding areas.
What sort of underbody protection do other people use in regards to salt/beach 4WDing? Also what cleaning methods are used once at
home.
I normally jack the rear up and flush out the rails and use a high pressure hose to clean the under carrage.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated

I have, just recently, started driving the opposite wheels, front to back, up onto car ramps, this puts the wheels down a fair way and allows me to get right into the wheel arches, also raises the whole vehicle by a bit, when I've done two wheels, I reverse off the ramps, change them over and do the other two.
I also run the travelling sprinkler under the truck for a couple of runs and hose out the rails. (very basic sprinkler restrictions).
This is on top of a full rust proofing and a yearly
check up.
I have found panels to be far more of a problem than the underbody anyway.
