I forgot to mention I either do it in the front lawn or the easement behind my house with a long hose.
Being from south Texas where water is always a issue I have learned to use it wisely. I cringe every time I see water running down the street and not soaking into some green stuff.

keeps the next run mud out.I've seen people put tape over the holes in the frame with the idea that they can keep moisture out that way... the thing is that if moisture does find a way in it will stay in. Humid air trapped in the frame can still condensate on the metal, and will have a tougher time getting out since it can't breathe.
Some of us live in areas where water conservation is not really a problem. there are no droughts, and when we don't use the water, it runs from the lakes we get it from into the ocean. Plus hosing down the jeep is nothing compared to filling the swimming pool.

The way I have seen TJ frames less than 10 years old rust to dust, I'd be a bit worried about JK frames just the same. Mud and dust in your frame holds moisture against the paint and metal for very long periods of time, compared to evaporation and run-off of bare metal. That's what causes the faster rusting.

Please forward list of junk yards with a big enough pile for me to send a truck there for my first batch. There will be a small commission returned for your efforts.
