Default Mirrors

I have a '09 4dr JK and I took off all my doors, I am thinking about leaving it like this for the summer. So far the biggest draw back is the mirrors are on the doors. What are you guys using for side mirrors w/o doors?


Thanks,
Tim

Rugged ridge relocating brackets. Passenger view sucks, but u get use to it. Ive used other mirrors, but they vibrated and basically were useless except to avoid a ticket.

I run the American Outlaw Mirrors.

The just slide on and the passenger side mirror works as well as the factory mirror.

Rugged Ridge Quick Release. No vibes and the passenger side is actually usable. I removed my giant plastic factory mirrors and run these full time.

There are several threads about mirrors, do a little searching.

I did search but the results were overwhelming and not very specific sorry....

I just recently started running Rugged Ridge mirrors, they're sweet! I originally used Olympic 4x4 mirrors, rattled like crazy making them useless at any speed over most any terrain. Then tried some universal fit Pilot mirrors from autozone for $15 ea. They would float out of position too easily. Happy now with RR's quick release mirrors

First year I had nothing. The last 2 years I've been using the Olympic Safari mirrors. They vibrate at speed, but I can see if there is a vehicle in the lane beside me. For the price, I think they are awesome.

go down to your local Harley Davidson Dealership and see if they have a set of take-offs. You should be able to pick a set up for next to nothin, maybe 15 bucks for a pair. All you need then is a 1/2" flange nut per side. they don't shake at speed or move.

I used relocating brackets on my 2010. Hated them. Drivers side is fine but passenger side is all but worthless with the doors on. My 2014 will get something different.

This is a great idea, I have a dealer right around the corner.

Thanks,
