Default Relocation Bracket

Does any one have these brackets on their JK. What do you think does it make the Jeep look weird with the doors still on. Can you leave the stock bracket on also and just switch the mirror when the doors are off. Any advice or pics would be great cause summer is coming and I cant decide if I get these brackets or spend the money and get the warrior tube doors and mount mirrors to them.

Help me decide.

I'm assuming he means mirrors I've heard good and bad about the relocation brackets. A freind of mine has them and his mirrors shake pretty badly.

If your having questions about a bracket just get some mirrors that you can put in the door hinges when you take the doors off. I have the Olympic 4X4 Safari Mirrors.

Im thinking about ordering these. I dont want to have two mirrors one with the doors and one without. I'd like to see a wider picture of it the jeep with them on.


Has anyone installed these and is there vibration??

I have them installed. I posted once before about my opinion, but here you go. The brackets are sturdy, and vibration free. One thing to consider is that the passenger side mirror only has about 2" that you can see out of with the doors on. Beware that the instructions are all screwed up, and you need to make sure that you have the "REVISED" instructions. Then make sure you read them, and don't go by the pictures, as they don’t match the instructions. The thing about the passenger side mirror isn't too bad once you get used to actually looking and not just relying on the mirror.

I have the Warrior relocation brackets and I leave them on all of the time. The brackets do allow a bit of vibration in the mirrors however you have full use of the mirrors. It is easy enough to take the mirrors off after the doors are removed and put them in the brackets. You can see the bracket in the following photo:

I can see one of the issues you have run into by leaving them on the piller, by the dent from the bracket in your door. Did the wind catch your door and the strap stretch? With the Rugged Ridge brackets, and the mirrors off the doors, the glass would have hit the mirror housing prior to producing a dent. Although it might have broken the window and the mirror.
