As a jeep knewbie, this forum continues to provide invaluable info, so I was hoping somebody could help me with a small issue.

Now I'm a firm believer that jeeps are dirty. End of discussion. But as I weather this east coast... weather.. I've been watching the snow/slush spray all over the doors (got my black 2010 basic JK sport just in time for the endless wet) and collect on the leading edge of the rear flares. Again, that doesn't bother me - when it's bad a quick stop at the pressure washer relieves the build-up - but as I long for topless, doorless weather I worry that any road moisture like mud and rainwater will spray inside the jeep, hitting the seat and/or gorgeous babe riding shotgun.

Mud flaps on a jeep feels like blasphemy, but is there a fix for this? Does road debris just magically NOT spray inside with the doors off? Side steps/rocker guards do the trick?

Again, stock wheels and tires, nothing special yet.

Hopefully this isn't a redundant post and I give my thanks in advance for the help. You guys all rock.

 

I run doorless a good bit in spring and fall. The spray is minimal in the front, but if your an unlimited, the back peeps and seats will get soaked in a storm with doors off.

 

Solid. My baby's a 2dr. I noticed a little spray on the roll bars with the back windows off during a freak heat wave day, but nothing a little armorall couldn't clean up. Thanks for the input.

 

The Sahara steps that come stock just about eliminate that problem, however not that great offroad. But from the sound of it, you aren't going anywhere offroad where you might need sliders instead of steps.

 

The xenon fenders I think have a set that is 1.5 inches wider than stock. I was looking into them when getting 35s just to help the spray.

 

Running large tires, I get a lot of spray. To minimize spay invest in some off-road sliders/steps. If they are solid they will work like the Sahara running boards mentioned above.

 

Had the same concern so I ordered the Poison Spyder "Rocker Brawler" or "Brawler Rocker", I can't remember, partly to help minimize the effect. Stock side steps should work even better and I bet you can find a pair on the forum pretty cheap.

 

I installed a set of Teraflex aluminum rocksliders on my Rubicon for a similar reason. I frequently travel a few hundred miles of dirt roads in a weekend, and the front tires were throwing rocks at the Jeep body, and chipping the paint. The Teraflex rocksliders do a good job of deflecting rocks away from the body, so they are doing what I wanted them to do. I also noted that the Jeep stays very clean now, without all the slop being sprayed up along the sides of the doors. They are also stronger than the Rubicon OEM rocksliders, and provide better rock protection off road. And they're even lighter weight than the OEM rocksliders. Here's a picture of what they look like.

 

into body with self tappers or somthing??? personaly id rather not drill the lower, id rather bolt to frame or somthing, any thing like that available??????
