Doors off mirrors
Small though, I have a box of those.. In answer to the previous question about the Outlaws fitting w/tube doors.. The Outlaws mount on the hinge.. so no.. You would have to get a mirror mount for the doors.. Don't some of those tube doors come with mirrors??
I bought two mirrors from auto zone and a 7/16 steel rod 3 ft long, two 7/16 nylon nuts, 4-3/8 flat washers and a can of paint, I took the rod, cut it in half threaded one end about two inches long. on the other end 6 inches from the end I bent it about to a 45 degree angle, on that same end I flattened about an inch of the rod with a hammer and a torch. then I took a drill bit on the flattened end and made a hole for the mirror mount to fit in. I painted it and put everything togather.
Once you take the doors off take the rod, take one of the washers and put it on first then put the rod into the door mount, then the washer and nut , it doesnt take much to hold it in place,
It works really good and total cost was about 28.00 dollars. took me about an hour total. plus paint drying time
I can email pics or help to whoever is interested, But I dont know how to shrink my pics to fit on this site.
Save some money, use it on fuel for a few extra miles on the trail
Good luck to who are interested

I built these sexy mirrors. Primeing and painting black tommorow. This is there "raw state". I added that crossmember after a test drive and they were rattling a bit much for me. The rattling has been reduced by 80% after the crossmember. The fit in the door hinges and re-use the nut that is used in the factory hinge.

Can you post us up some pics? I am curious how they look.
Do they vibrate? if so, how badly at normal driving speeds 35, 45, 55, 65? (Not 95 on the Freeway, if i'm goint that fast, i need my head examined and the mirrors are the least of my concerns.)
I have seen the ones that look funny with some type of billet clamps.. The door hinge pins ones seem to be the best..
I really like those Bestop extreme doors and will be watching closely when they finally get the rears produced..
Still you have to install mirrors on those too..!! POX on DC for putting mirrors on the Doors anyway..!!!
Ha Ha..!!! aren't the Warriors supposed to be vibration free??

At the store, In the package, on the shelf, they dont vibrate at all!
They all vibrate, it is just a matter of degree. So, i hadda ask.
I called Quadratec to check availability of the Lange Quick Mirror II and the Outlaw mirrors. The customer service rep I spoke with said he personally has the QMII and it vibrates like crazy. Anything over 40 mph & you have to readjust .... they just keep your rig legal. I advised that I plan on commuting to work w/ doors off on a regular basis. He recommended I go with the Outlaw mirrors for far less vibration and less need to readjust.
Both are currently in stock by the way.
~~~~ EDIT ~~~~~
Just ordered Warrior relocation brackets from Quadratec. They're on backorder, so I called WP to check ETA. Found that QT is scheduled to receive 20 from the group that's currently in production.
Called QT back & all 20 have not been accounted for.
note: when installed, can not use full doors. ok by me, cause it's 3 bolts and my doors are off 80% of the time.
