Default mirrors or relocation bracket...

I'm wanting to go doorless, but am lost trying to decide between a mirror relocation or just some mirrors that fit in the hinge, both are the same price and both will get the job done. just can't decide!

I had the relocation brackets and the view on the passenger side is blocked. So I bought the oulaws mirrors that fit in the hinge. No complaints yet, they do shake a little at highway speeds but I'm still happy with them. A hell of a lot better than the relocation brackets

Somebody correct me if I am wrong but if you move your stock mirrors forward wont you lose some maximum viewing angle?

I'm only 6 foot tall but already have my mirrors turned all the way out (without popping them out of their detents) and could really use a little more.

For me, I would go with aftermarket door hinge mirrors... probably look cooler than the stocks anyways.

I just used the relo bracket on the drivers side and leave the pass mirror on the door as the relo bracket on the pass side made it almost useless. When I take the doors off I just don't have a passenger side mirror but the top is typically down when the doors are off and you can see great just by turning your head.

Check out Dietech offroad mirror brackets. When installed they put your mirror at the exact same spot as when they are on the door.
