Default Die-Tech Mirror Relocation bracket video, and review

So, I bought these a couple weeks ago..



Dropped almost a $100 bill after shipping... but kept telling myself that it should be worth it... after all, no other solution looks as sturdy, or as 'stock'..

Here it is installed on my Jeep...



Well.. My main concern before buying along with price / value was the fact that it uses existing mirrors... People told me that didn't take too long to switch 'em out.... but it's hard to believe what you can't see.... New OEM mirrors are like $150+ So I didn't want to have to buy them TOO.

so here's a vid of mine coming out of the die-tech mounts, and going back into the stock doors... This was my 2nd time doing this, ever.. It's pretty quick.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ-fOWACK2E&feature=player_embedded The transition is definately fast enough that I have no plans of buying OEM mirrors as a spare. Maybe you're different... but at least now you know how long it takes....

The value is definately there. These are metal.. not plastic.. I don't have to re-adjust the mirrors.. although they are just a bit lower... Other than the hinge peg on the bottom... which I consider optional... There are no threds, or anything to go wrong on this... just built right, and tough. The finish is great too..

Highly recommended!

And it was good to hear Them Crooked Vultures in the background
