I stand corrected! Most of the states I've lived in including Massachusetts, New York, and California have all required 2. I didn't realize there was an "exempt" rule cause local cops seem to pull people over (especially out of state plates) for damn near anything not keeping with local laws.
yup just one mirror for us! but just to be on the safe side i always put on the driverside mirror . From what i have been told yes its only 1 mirror but the rearview mirror does not count it must be out side the jeep to see your blind spot on the driver side , some opp or city police will pull you over and might just give you a warning, but for the most part they leave us alone !
While the door is still on, unbolt it then pop the mirror back and forth past the breakaway point - it eventually pops off.
You may want to check out the new Rugged Ridge mirrors. I saw them on here this week. They use a round mirror that uses the windshield bolts and has a big knob to take them off when you want to. They solve the "can't see my passenger side mirror" issue. I have a set of HD mirrors now but I think a set of the new RR ones are in my future.
I have the relocation brackets from rugged ridge i think. They are good form me but the passengers is useless. It works great if you have someone in the passengers seat to look for you. Anyways I like it because it takes 2 minutes and the soft doors are off and away i go.
Thanks for the info gang! I was being told that the minimum was rearview plus the driver's side mirror. To think that I was going to skip going doorless on a hot day! I might as well own an FJ
