Default Best mirror relocation

Alight i need some help with relocating mirrors, who likes what what doesn;t work. I bought the rugged ridge mirror relocation and totally killed my mopar mirrors. I am at the question of getting new mopars and sticking with the rugged ridge which I think looks awesome ( asking here about function) or going with a totally new set up. keeping in mind that when I put the doors back on I no longer have the mirrors for them and need some sort of total relocation ot the ones that slip in the door pin holes

Our solution is to move the entire assembly from the door to a bracket that uses the upper hinge pin. It's not designed to be a permanent relocation. But you'll have great visibility because the mirrors are in the factory location and no problems with vibration like some solutions.

You can see what others have said as well as pictures in this thread:

i have the lange quick release 2's and i like them alot. I had to re seal around the mirrors because of the whistling but if your like me and dont want to take your mirrors off your door or shell out $210 for another set of factorys then i would recomend the lange ones.

If you get the Rugged Ridge ones then you wont need mirrors for when your doors are off since they are permanently relocated. Just keep in mind with the doors on you will not be able to see the mirror on the passenger side with the Rugged Ridge model

A guy by the house removed a couple of bolts from the windshield bracket. Found new bolts long enough and mounts his there. It really is a simple solution.
