    Yep, I've had that too. You hit a patch of water or mud, it sprays up out the front of the car and then you drive through it. It's worse when you have a big lift and a high clearence bullbar, nothing to stop the water/mud spraying up. You could try putting mudflaps in front of the front wheels but will look butt ugly!

    ROFL... yeah, they do have their use don't they.

    Either them or a 44 as a Windscreen Washer Tank if your touring on muddy roads
