Olympic Mirrors - Disappointed
Vibration free mirrors when doorless : I've have both of these, so know first-hand they work :
- American Outlaw door hinge Mirrors http://www.quadratec.com/products/13023_312.htm Easy to remove, good viewing angles on both drive and passenger sides, mirror angle stays in place, they dont vibrate, if they were a little wider they'd be perfect.
- Warrior stock Mirror relocation brackets http://www.warriorproducts.com/catal...ocBracket.html Solidly built and good views even with doors on (unlike many !!) and brackets don't get in the way when doors are on. They do vibrate however it's a very easy 2-minute fix, I posted this a while ago :
"The stock mirrors relocate onto Warrior's brackets and vibrate at all speeds to the point of being near useless because the outer plastic mirror casing moves and isn't tight to the metal Warrior bracket (allowing vibration to travel to the mirror) so add a washer between them. A correct-sized nylon washer would work, but simpler fix is to fold and insert a 4-inch x ½-inch strip of black duct tape between the metal Warrior bracket and the bottom edge of the black plastic mirror casing. Tighten the Torx screw to pull down the JK's stock mirror into the Warrior bracket, and squeeze the duct tape washer into the void (and out of sight)"
ENJOY !!!

After riding/owning many jeeps with relocated mirrors all of which looked like antenna(bug) or had "earthquake" syndrome I can up with this.....
This is a mirror from an 87 Ford ranger... about $20 at auto parts store

The mirror is in your normal line of sight.... can show other vehicles on the road or rocks/obstacles to the side... fold out of the way when not in use
Hope this helps somebody...
