I like quatratec's new automatic mirror movers. But they are not cheap. No useless right mirror.

I agree with what people are saying, I have these and use them so I can be legal only. I would suggest looking up American Outlaw.

I bought the RR quick release round mirror set. I keep the mounts up all the time and when I take the doors off, I just pop them on. It appears that taking the stock mirrors off and moving them every time would be a PITA. For $50, this solution is just plug and play.

You must've been part way through a barrel roll when you shot that image. ;-)

Back on topic, when the JKs first came out Mopar offered a driver's side mirror bracket that came with a TJ mirror. I've used it. It doesn't solve the passenger side, however ...

TJ mirror mounted ...


And I just leave the bracket on rather than risk spinning one of the nutserts in the windshield frame ...

If you are looking for what to do for mirrors with doors off, I recommend getting these: Tapered Long Stem Mirror, Left Side-91910-03B | Handlebar Mounted Mirrors | Official Harley-Davidson Online Store

They work terrific and mount right into the door hinge bracket. It looks good, low profile, and you don't have to worry about taking the mirrors off the doors. They work terrific for the passenger side too. No issues with that side. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it mounted like that, but it does work great.

Then, if you end up getting tube doors, you can mount the mirrors right into those. And again, you won't ever have to remove the door mirrors.

They look to be ok, just truing to see if someone has used them or not, and if they came with the blankoff plates for the doors. and they re-use the original mirrors so you don't have to pay for new ones with the others laying around!

Spring is comin, time to take the doors off!
Worst relocation bracket on the market, like JK-Hammer they were on my jeep when I bought it. The passenger mirror is impossible to see out of. I bought some factory mirror brackets and put them back on. I have yet to take my doors off since I don't really have anywhere to put them without the possibility of them being damaged.

I did the same. I bought the combo package they have with the Bestop mirrors. So much easier but also pricier.

If your main concern is strictly being street legal, you can't go wrong with these for $50. They also have minimal vibration, so you actually can see out of them if you choose to.
