Now does that apply to you? Probably be safe and buy 2 mirrors
Eh, when inspection comes around, just put the doors back on... Problem solved... Thanks for looking into it though!!!


Okay, i think i'm done hijacking the thread... Sorry!

However, I also found this info
In New Jersey, no tint may be applied to the front driver or passenger window of cars or S.U.V.’s. The rest of the windows can be tinted to any darkness if the car has two side mirrors.



So apparently if you have no tint, you can use one mirror. If your rear windows have tint, you must have 2 mirrors
In NJ all passenger vehicles MUST have an interior rear view mirror. ( The one attached to the windshield ). This also includes vehicles that do not have a clear view of the road behind them ( like a box truck or cube van ). All passenger vehicles MUST also have AT LEAST one side mirror. If you have tinted windows or cannot see out of your interior rear view you MUST have 2 side mirrors. If you have 2 side mirrors you can paint your rear window.

Just get the Rugged Ridge mirror relocation kit. It is the best option out there IMO because it comes with filler plates for the holes in the doors and you have both mirrors, although half the passenger's mirror is blocked. It is a sturdy kit with no vibration and I still have it on now in the winter. It looks much better than the MOPAR kit, which I used to have. Plus with the RR, you get both sides vs driver's side only for the MOPAR.
