I guess I am wondering if the slots in a slotted rotor would get caked w mud. I have never used them for off road vehicles. I have about 35k on the vehicle and expect to have to change brakes in the next 5k. I'll be doing new rotors as well. Going to be a joy to get the wheel spacers off I am sure!

It shouldnt hurt anything to have slotted rotors in the mud. My moto-x bikes have them and stay covered by mud. No problems at all. They are really for heavy high speed or heavy load braking to dissapate heat more efficiently. Im not usually getting my brakes that hot offoad in the mud so it should have no effect on slow speed braking quality and they get washed off before hitting the road again.

I used the slotted on my 01 XJ with semi metallic pads. I think their worth the money. Had them on for over a year and never had them warp.. My XJ had 32s BFG KM@ Mudds on it,and i offroaded with it also. It stopped so much better in all conditions. I'll be switching my XK over when it's time for the change...
