Wow, I hope everything works out okay for you both. I was up under mine again yesterday and STILL found a ton of crap I had to try to get out from under there. And I wasn't nearly as aggressive as either of you with those mudholes, so if I have as much sand up in mine as I do, I can only imagine either of yours. Yesterday I just focused on the rear half of the vehicle and this weekend I'll hit the front good again. Haven't noticed anything yet but will look for this on mine as well and I definitely appreciate the heads-up on it.
