Question Mopar relocation brackets vs Rugged Ridge

Okay, we all know that the Rugged Ridge Mirror relocation brackets have this issue: the passenger side mirror will be partially blocked with full doors reinstalled. Blocked at 50%

I want to know if the Mopar model is different.
- The passenger side mirror is blocked? Yes or no?
- At high speed, any vibrations ?

Here you go: http://www.quadratec.com/products/13125_5000.htm

That Mopar kit is a more expensive re-packaged Rugged Ridge kit. Compare the two on Quadratec's site and you can see it better.

I have the Rugged Ridge kit and there's no vibration and it looks stock. As you wrote, the passenger side is blocked by over 50% with the door attached. But I adjusted the mirror housing as best I could during installation and the mirror after and now I'm comfortable with the visibility.

Maybe they changed the Mopar kit since I bought it a few years back, but back then it only provided a driver's side mirror. It's actually a TJ mirror (you don't need to pull your JK mirrors) ...

You're not talking about the same thing; what I see is the Mopar aux. mirror

I'm talking about the Mopar relocation brackets

Brice, I downloaded the instructions, and, I read that the MOPAR relocation bracket is MADE by Rugged Ridge

Contact Rugged Ridge, and you will have an answer

Many thanks!

If the passenger side mirror is not blocked, I can buy these brackets in Paris and save a lot of money...
