I have the Dietech also. They work great especially since I bought a second set of mirrors. I had the RR brackets, used them once, then sold them.

I don't have any great pics of the Dietech brackets but you can kind of see them in the below picture. Mine is the black Jeep but you can see it better on my brother in law's green Jeep. And as I mentioned, the passenger side mirror is 100% viewable since it sits in the same location as when the doors are on. Taking the mirros off and putting them on the brackets is a 5 minute job. With the extra set of mirrors, it will be even faster. Maybe not perfect for permanent solutions but really not that big of a deal if you run with the doors off a lot.

Just installed relocation brackets today. Havent drivin with the doors on yet, but did sit in the seat before i took the doors off. The mirror was definatly blocked but not as bad as the pics looked, I guess alot depends on how your seat is positioned. Also, all my mirrors took was a little wiggle and pull, but i go to the gym every day. lol

i went with a kind that fits onto the door hinge, because, I thought that doing the mirror relocation thing with my 2011 with its heated mirrors and power mirrors would make it a really bitch of a job to do.
this way the mirrors stay on the the doors. the doors come off the spare mirrors go into the hinges, a bit of extra work, but, better in the long run I think, have not put them on yet,
but here are picks of the mirrors in the box,
bought them on e bay
i think they are safari mirrors

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ-fOWACK2E I did a write up on here about 'em.. you'd have to search for it.. or check my posts from my profile...
But I love 'em.. They don't look, or perform like an afterthought... THey're very well Engineered... not just made.

In the state of Florida you are required to have at least one mirror to remove your doors. So I was looking for some feedback from those that have used the rugged ridge relocation kit from the door to the A post. Let me know guys before I go and buy them. Thanks

Cons: passenger side mirror can be difficult to see with door ON. you will see about half of the mirror in a normal driving position. i installed a wide view sticky mirror and it helps

I've had the RR brackets on for a year now. Passenger side is definitely blocked when doors are on, but I use a stick-on convex mirror for the blind spot.
For me, door storage is an issue, so having flat doors (i.e., no mirrors) is key.
Plus, my buddy had the safari mirrors on his TJ and they were useless on the highway, since they fluttered so much. One eventually loosened and blew off when he was driving back from FL. The RR brackets and stock mirrors are rock solid.
