Guess everybody has this problem..

everytime i go thru even the smallest amounts of mud, it all ends up in my door jambs!
is it just these body styles that is a problem with this or do the 04 and up trucks have the same thing with all mud inside the doors? stupid thread i know, just venting because i hate having all the mud inside when i open my doors! it was a little better with my side steps on, but i hated the looks of them. so basically theres nothing to do about this problem, its just the design of the doors i guess

yep, 04-08 have this problem as well. i need to go clean mine. just to lazy. it also makes me think if that much mud can get in the door cracks, there how quick water would get in your cab if you got stuck.

Ya I have this problem as well, confuses people when they get in the back seat. Hearing that your door is rusting makes me want to go clean them all off real good though.
