Default Relocation Brackets ??

Wanted to pick up some relocation brackets for my 2010 JK unlimited. Does anyone have opinions on ones that are good and ones to avoid? Any opinions welcome. Thanks!

Mirrors? The rugged ridge ones arent as great as i had hoped. Only get about 1/3 view on passenger side with seat fully back. There is also the recessed screw that gave me some issues.

The recessed screws can be a pain, good reason to have a micro socket set. The brackets seem pretty stout and no mirror vibration even at highway speeds.

I installed those too. I had to put a bubble mirror in the lower outer corner of the passenger mirror for good vision when I have my doors on. When they are off the visibility is awesome. Gettin my stock mirrors off was a pain though... It took alot of beating and pounding to get them to release.

To take the stocks off, leave the mount on the jeep, remove screw under mirror, put a small, disposable(cheap) driver in there (i used a very small square head from a set from HF as i have no other use for it) into the bolt hole. Take a hammer and bang it up. You need quick reflexes or a friend to catch the mirror when it pops up) then take the oem brackets off :thumb:
