Keeping door handles clean (extended fender flares?)

[UnforseenWeather]

Live off a dirt road and while I’m used to a dirty vehicle, just driving on it with my Mojave gets mud all over the door handles.

Assuming this is a solvable issue, are there any extended fender flares for the Mojave that work, look good, and keep the mud off the door handles…? Thanks in advance.

Rokblokz. Worth the money, IMO.

Wow. Those are not cheap! Might be a solution to stay legal and still go negative offset, though.

800 AUD = ~580 USD. Still not cheap, but more reasonable.

Give it a few months. The market is there. You could get those made for $20 in China in quantities of 500. Somebody will do it and sell them for $150.

I've been planning on getting some proper running board style sliders made for mine and the wife's. Sorta like what's on the Overlands, but steel and capable of holding the vehicle on a rock when needed. Sorta like buying sliders, and getting steps, mud flaps, and cool old-school running boards for free.

(Just posted this elsewhere in the Forum) ... recently moved overseas, to a host nation where tires are prohibited from extending beyond the edge of the fender. Initially, and to pass inspection, I installed a set of EZ Flares XL (purchased via Amazon); i.e., trimable rubber strips attached via 3M-like tape. Looking for a more permanent solution, I reached out to Bill at Double Black Offroad (https://doubleblackoffroad.com) who had launched a Fender Extension Kit for OEM fit to the JT (high & standard flare height). A few lessons: kit comes sans paint but surface is easy to prep and takes paint extremely well; installation requires a poly rivet tool for installation (another Amazon purchase); ... aaannnddd shipment was delayed in customs for ~3 weeks until I could track it down and break it out with more $. Although expensive, the fit and look are factory (absolutely recommend) ... and DBOR's service was exceptional throughout! A few pics attached FYSA ... thx again Bill! - CHEERS -

Are those AEV wheels with a +25 offset? If so surprised you need flares.

These are the AEV JK Saltas ... I prefer them to the new JT/JL version. Extend beyond flare ~1.5 inches. - CHEERS -

Any dirty photos with those RokBlokz? I'm curious to see the coverage area.

That makes sense, those are +10 vs the JT/JL version +25
