OK...I did it...
I tried to use an air compressor, but the sand we have out here is like beach sand...really grainy, not powdery. The compressor kinda worked, but it was everywhere...doorjams, seats, console...so i got to looking at the doors and tailgate and they have drain holes in the bottoms....
So I said 'fork it' and broke out the hose.
I vacuumed up what I could and then pulled the drain plugs. I used low pressure and sprayed everything but the dash, but I wasnt overly careful. I even used the wash/wax on the inside of the doors and everything came out new as could be. I sprayed everything from the seats to the doors to carpet and roll bar being careful not to hit the dash or speakers.
Some overspray got on the speakers (which wouldn't break my heart if I had to replace those POS's) but they sound fine. I noticed alot of sand near the drain plugs when I reinstalled em. Drove Pepe (the Jeep) around and everything worked fine. I wouldn't hesistate to do it again.

Jacks or Better - looks like they got some rain at green ridge? When I was up there a few weeks ago it was so dry and dusty with few puddles around. The dust almost seems to be worse as it finds it way into every possible place inside. But it looks like you had a great time!
We're talking about hitting the GWNF soon, be great to see you there!
