Default Mud under door handles

So my JK was covered in mud, then I cleaned it up, but I didn't clean the door handles, and on the inside of the outside door handle mud was still caked on and it started to get foggy/misty outside.

Girlfriend goes to open door and gets a fistful of mud LOL!

Thought it was pretty funny, she didn't. Figured this has happened to a lot of Jeepers.

My father and I were driving through a friends farm field and came across a creek bank about 4 ft deep. My dad had his window down And i told him I wouldn't recommend doing so. He just shrugged it off but once I hit the embankment after crossing without using 4x4 the rear spin and threw creek bedding mud all into my jeep smacking him on the face and windshield. Low and behold, he put the window up going back across again.

This happens every time! Mud always gathers under the handle!

I've noticed that all winter long. I have 33's and 2.5" spidertrax which makes the wheels stick out a bit on each side. Summer time I loved it, thought it looked cool. All winter its been a pain, slush and dirty water/snow constantly collects on them. No way you can open it and have a clean hand afterwards. Oh well, I still think the wheels look great and don't plan to change anything
