Default My Free Mirror Relocation

After taking my front Doors off Tuesday & went for long mountain ride, I got into a few (I can't see Sh#t ) situations. An On Ramp here in Harrisburg, Pa. on route 81 I almost kissed a another vehicle, lucky I stuck my head out and looked behind me, the a car was right on me. Very spooky situation, he did back off & let me go. There were a few more less dramatic but still not good situations that I needed a mirror. Sooooooooooooo! I fixed that problem, I had 2 mirror's right here that I took off my Granddaughters Dune Buggy, well they worked fine. Now I can see(what a saftey issue that was)............
I can leave the mirror mounted all the time if I want to.

Just drilled my Warrior Light Bracket.

That looks good. So for me to do that "free mirror mod" all i gotta do is buy those light brackets, and lights, then buy a dune buggy and take the mirrors off and i'm done ... LOL.
Seriously that is a great mod if you have that light bracket.

Bad Grandfather no cookie for you. Stealing parts off your grandaughters stuff to put on your jeep you should be ashamed.
Actually they look good almost like they were meant for it. Puts me in mind of something my wife mentioned when I was coming up with ideas for mine: Clamp on bicycle mirrors.

That is EXTREMELY Smart idea!!

I am originally from Millersburg PA (Central PA)

One more thing...is there a name for those mirrors and the rod its on? Meaning did they come together and who makes them? Or did I miss that part?
