I bought a universal mirror and made a mount from 1/2 SS tubing. It mounts to the windshield frame bolts and works great. I will have to take a pic next time the doors are off.

Mirror movers are honestly worthless unless your state requires that you have side view mirrors on your car/Jeep. I say they are worthless because you still pretty much have to stick your head out the window/door in order to look into the mirror and see who's in your blindspot. Your window frame will get in the way, especially on the passenger side. Trust me, I had mirror relocators and you can't really tell who's coming up on you. They're only made for legal reasons depending on your states laws.

I agree completely, I have been driving mine around for about a month now without my mirrors and I have had no issues with the cops, sheriffs, or state troopers. I drive through 3 different counties for a total of 60 miles round trip to work everyday, sometimes I go the back way sometimes I take the highway just depends, but no issues so far. Actually now that I think about it I'm not real sure what Indiana's laws are about the mirrors.

I didn't like the way the mirror relocator brackets looked. So I just bought a Lange Original mirror kit. Sure, you can make one for cheaper, but I'm not crafty.


What I like about the replacement mirror is it has a small bracket that mounts to the windshield, and allows you to screw in the new one when you need it....

Thanks, if you find out anything please let me know. Until then I will just keep pressing my luck, and if I do get pulled over I'll just play dumb.
