I use this... and I'm curious as to why it's not that popular. When I have the doors on, I simply swing the mirror out of the way. I love it.

I did the Rugged Ridge also. I ended up putting my mirror back on the passenger door too. I'm hoping to find some windshield mounted mirror brackets so I can dump the rugged ridge. It's a shame that they designed it to be worthless rather than extending it a few more inches on the pass. side. I know I saw a thread here where someone (Redneck maybe) that extended the rugged ridge passenger side mount. Unfortunately I have no welding experience or I'd probably attempt the same they're nice otherwise.

I could use the rt mirror. A round safety mirror helps for the right side though.

I never thought the reduced visibility was a problem... it's different, but I got used to it and it's better than nothing.



I added a blind spot mirror for a little bit more visibility. Works well for me.

I bought the RR ones also. I didn't even bother with the passenger side. That mirror comes off when the door comes off, no big deal. I purchased some small round mirrors with sticky tape and the back and stuck them to the closed AC vent. Works like a charm.
No one notices your mirrors aren't even, trust me.
