Default Mirrors Doorless and Mirrorless...what to do?

Hi All-
Sorry for the newbie question but I am brand new to this. Took my doors off yesterday and realized I have no mirrors. Any suggestions? Seems like there should be a good clamp on mirror for the driver side.

What are you guys doing that go doorless?

Thanks!

Open up Quadratec or your favorite Jeep parts sure and check out the options. I used to run Olympic Safari mirrors but they shook a lot. I have since switched to Rugged Ridge permanently. Many folks have had good luck with Harley mirrors too.

There are many mirror threads if you search a little.

I use the Rugged Ridge quick disconnect mirrors and really like them. Before those, I used small (2½" round) convex mirrors mounted to the vents on the driver and passenger sides using the included 2-faced tape. It wasn't ideal, but it was better than nothing (they're still in place) and they were about $5 for the pair at Advance Auto. If your state requires rearview mirrors, you may just save yourself a ticket.

$12 each at pep boys and a thick rubber grommet/washer between post ans pant. Rattle canned them black. They work great. A litel vibration but not bad. I just bent the one end to match the angle i wanted. Super easy and cheap.

I have the mirrors from justaddmudd that drop into the hinges and use a magnet to secure. Love them!

In most states it is illegal to not have side mirror. Harley Davidson makes one that fits in the door hinge. Buy 2.1/2 inch stick on trailer mirrors and stick them on a/c air vents when closed and you can see fine. Or rugged ridge make a set that mount to windshield bracket which I now use. They don't bounce around.
