Default Mirror replacement/relocation for door removal?

Are 2007 side mirrors available, so that I do not have to remove the mirrors from my full doors when I want to take them off? Do they make stock mirrors that can just screw on (or slip into the hinges), as in the past, or am I going to have to deal with relocation brackets, etc.?

Just looking for the easiest, fastest way to take off the doors and go (but still stay street legal) ...

Thanks!

I have got relocation brackets on order that will be here mid june, in the meantime.
Go to a truckstop, buy a 6 in convex spot mirror for 15 bucks and the bracket will bolt right to your door hinge with a longer bolt, problem solved, takes 1 minute, for $15.50 problem solved! Giovani

I bought a relocation bracket that comes with a factory mirror from my dealership. It mounts to the windshield bracket. Cost was $86 if i remember.

The Mopar kit comes with a big ugly bracket because it uses a TJ mirror; I think it looks like shit and would not give them $10 for it.

I made this bracket and used the stock mirror. There is only 1 bolt holding the stock mirror onto the door mount, so it only takes about 1 minute more to do it this way. It also saved me the cost of a new mirror.

Agree w/ Doug in regards to the Mopar mirror. It reuses the prior model's mirror. Great way to deal w/ the overstock.

Renegade, that is the cleanest do-it-your-self I've seen to date.

Anyway, I just received my black Outlaw mirrors from Quadratec....
$130 shipped
pair
slides over the door hinge
very little vibration
FYI: recommend by Quadratec cust srvc rep over the Lange (sp?) quick release for vibration purposes.


Careful with the relocation brakets from Warrior. They do not allow use of the full doors.

I like the way that looks, I assume you welded it up yourself. You could easily sell those things on Ebay, how much do you want for a set of them?
