Default anyone use these mirror relocation brackets?

These are from the Mopar parts web site.

Jeep Wrangler Mirror Relocation Brackets (Part No: 102504RR)

They look to be ok, just truing to see if someone has used them or not, and if they came with the blankoff plates for the doors. and they re-use the original mirrors so you don't have to pay for new ones with the others laying around!

Spring is comin, time to take the doors off!

I haven't used them but I've read a lot about mirror relocation before I bought the ones I have. The general consensus is that that location can be hard to see on the passenger side because it is mostly obscured by the dash.

I have them.....drivers side is workable but still not right ans passenger side mirror pretty much becomes non existent. I just bought my Jeep with them on it and I think I am going to remove....still deciding.

If your gonna go doorless, id recommend Olympic safari mirrors. When you take the doors off, the mirrors install in the door hinges. You get better visability. And you're legal.

Those relocation brackets are pretty much only for to keep you legal while driving without doors. The passenger side mirror is out of eyesight. And the drivers side is kinda at an awkward angle.

Get some type of mirror that installs in the hinges. They install with a jam nut. Simple on and off. I recommend the Olympic safari mirrors. Some people use Harley Davidson motorcycle mirrors.

This is probably the best way to go. I made mine with some hardware from Lowe's. I used canopy mirrors from a F-18 though. The driver side I can see fine, passenger I have to angle it so it moves the mirror closer towards the back of the Jeep to see it.

Yeah. I'm a seat mech so we change out the mirrors when the ball on the back of them wears out and its a consumable part, so I can keep it. I just shoved a screw in there to stop the mirror from moving.

I have the Dietechs which put the mirror in the exact same spot as when the doors are on. No vibrations either.

I use these and visibility isn't bad on the passenger side. It just requires removing two hinge bolts on each side to mount the bracket. You can take the mirror off and still leave the brackets if you plan to use them regularly. Plus they have the CJ look.
