Took the top and doors of the Jeep for the first time since I bought the Jeep. Love love it. However found out really quick that I needed some side mirrors. Went down to 4 wheel parts and bought a set.

Welcome to the Forum!!! Going topless and door less is great. Like most of us you will soon be looking to get seat covers and lining the tub with Line-X or a similar product.

I did the same thing the first time I pulled the doors off. Headed down the road, got on a 4 lane road, went to change lanes, checked my mirrors, oh crap can't see anything. I love the look of no doors and mirrors but getting older and twisting to look over my shoulder isn't as easy as it used to be. Jeep on.

Also have you solved the Flipping and Flapping of the Seat-belts? I had to buy some foam wrap-arounds for them to get mine to stop flapping.

For side mirrors I use these. Pilot Automotive/Rotating blind spot mirror MI-010- ReadReviews onPilot Automotive #MI-010

I peeled the peel and stick off them and attached them to my dash vents with the command strip Velcro. When I have the doors on they unvelcro and I can use the vents like normal. If the Velcro gets dirty just pull it off and put on new.

I did the exact same thing. Not the best solution but, better than nothing.

I wonder if this is only a 2dr thing. When I had my 2dr Rubicon and the top off only the rear seatbelts would flap. It would drive me nuts. I haven't had this happen in my 4dr yet and have driven on the freeway with no problems

I bought some rugged ridge quick release mirrors, they look similar to these. What a PITA to get them adjusted though.
