I had a pair of Lange Quick Mirror IIs and I couldn't get them to stay put. They would fold in when at highway speeds. So I got a pair of Rugged Ridge Quick Release Mirrors. Rugged Ridge 11025.10 - Rugged Ridge Quick Release Mirror Kit for 97-13 Jeep® Wrangler TJ, JK, TJ Unlimited & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec These work great! They aren't that big but you can rotate them so you are able to see and they stay put. You mount the brackets using your windshield bracket bolts and the brackets can stay there even if you put the doors back on.

I took off the dash side panel (near the door) and there was that yellow foam that the other guy was talking about. At the same time I was doing the wires without being electrocuted, my friend to care of making the hole in that hard foam so didn't really pay attention to that part. After just ran the wires thru the hole ant that's it (no patching or filling up the hole after wires went thru). It look at lot worse then it is, not that hard to do.
There is also point in the fire wall near the brake master cylinder that you can feed larger gauge (or multiple) wire through. It's a lot easier to get to. It comes out just above the brake pedal if I remember right. I ran my coax for the CB antenna through there.

Also, my friend gave me is Sahara front bumper cover and I painted it the same deep water blue as the jeep (3 coats primer, 4 coats blue and 2 coats clear). So those are the pictures:
Any opinion on: should I leave the driving lights on the windshield or should I move them to the bumper????
