So the other day at work, things were pretty slow. And by slow, I mean we had basically been twiddling our thumbs and sweeping the shop all day everyday for the past week. In the middle of cleaning up, I happened upon some barbecue wire and thought, "I know I can do something useful with this," and then it hit me: mud scrapers. Our yard at the shop is 90% mud, 9% gravel, and 1% bolts, nuts, and other metal bits that fall off of stuff.
So four zip ties and a bit of spray paint later, I have these nifty mud scrapers to keep most of the mud that accumulates on my boots on the yard and off of my mossy oak floormats.
I want to see what everyone else has done about the one-off problems they've encountereduploadfromtaptalk1447889283491.jpg

Would be slick if you cat a piece to match the shape of plastic step cover portion, and took some 1/8 or 1/4" round stock and framed the screening. if your steps are metal which i think they are you can always tack the to them.... might look pretty clean

All I have as far as footwear covers up to mid shin, so it wasn't really an issue for me.

That may be the next step. I'll just have to devise a way to make it subtle

Get you an Amp Research arm, actuator and mount the boot brush to it so when you open the door it folds out - scrub your boot - get in and close the door and it goes back underneath.

If you coat the whole truck in it, does that mean your truck will never get dirty? :D
