Arrow PRESS RELEASE: Die-Tech Off-Road Doorless Mirror Brackets



With summer around the corner, everyone is going to want to take their top and doors off of their Jeep and with that comes the question that all Jeepers have and that’s, what do I do about my mirrors. In addition to being extremely helpful, having a good mirror bracket solutions is necessary for Jeep JK Wrangler owners who want to operate their vehicles without doors and still remain legal. Fortunately for us, Die-Tech Off-road has just release an evolutionary set of Jeep JK Wrangler doorless mirror brackets that really are a first of its kind. In fact, their solution goes beyond the basic requirements needed and solves problems other solutions have including:

• Poor visibility
• Inefficient mirrors
• Vibration

One of the biggest biggest benefits of the Die-Tech Off-Road mirror brackets is that they re-use the stock mirrors and position them in their original location. By using the stock mirrors, you can expect to have the same quality of vision, efficiency and function that you are accustomed too. Additionally, you can be sure that you will benefit from the safety research that Chrysler LLC has done for the mirrors in their Jeep JK Wrangler application.

Die-Tech Off-Road mirror brackets features a hinge-mount design that uses the top door hinge for its mount. However, it goes further than similar solutions by providing a bracing arm that fastens to an existing door hinge bolt. By using this design, the Die-Tech Off-Road mirror brackets can eliminates the vibration caused by wind and the amplification of road vibration that other simple hinge-mount designs cannot offer. To insure a quality finish and long lasting durability, all Die-Tech Off-Road mirror brackets are e-coated and powder-coated textured black.

Die-Tech Off-Road mirror brackets made right here in the USA. Patent pending.

So do you need two sets of mirrors for this to work? Or do these somehow work with the doors on also?

My question is...is this price for a PAIR or for only one? I looked on their site and didn't see that. Nice design, though.

It looks like you'd need 2 sets of mirrors...

I like the idea, but I do take the doors on and off all the time. I ran the Rugged Ridge reloc brackets last year because once they were relocated, you were free to move the doors on and off. But, this doesn't seem to give you that flexibility...

Although it looks like a quality product, I'll look for another product that gives me some flexibility for doors on/off.

So you have to loosen one of the hinge bolts also? what are the chances of this messing up the hinge placement, and thus the door fit?

Slim to none since you only have to remove one hinge bolt. I imagine if you work slowly and not like you're having an epileptic fit, you'll be ok.

Very cool and the price isn't bad at all ($68.99 for those who haven't visited the page). I've got two questions though:
1) How can I buy them I don't see a link to purchase them on their site?
2) Are there any pics of a JK with them mounted? I'm talking where you can see the entire JK, not just of the hinge where it's mounted.

You can swap out the mirrors from the door to the brackets. It takes about a minute per each side. There are only two T40 bolts that need to be changed for each mirror.

The brackets are sold as a pair.

None. You're only dealing with the one door hinge bolt. Using that bolt eliminates vibration that a solution that just sits in the hinge will have.
