Default Rugged ridge mirrors or?

Getting ready to take the doors off and was curious if anyone is running the RR mirrors. I've used Lange quick release 2 before and the mirror had a tendency to move. I want to get the one that mounts on windshield as I will be running soft doors. Thanks

I'm running them and they work great! No complaints really except for the passenger mirror they should have made it from a different mirroring material like they do on cars. Since the passenger mirror is not magnified it makes it hard to use but its better than not having anything on that side like I see a ton of Jeeps do.

As for the moving crank them down tight and they dont move unless toy want them to and there is also zero vibration so they are a usable mirror at any speed even with mud tires.

I went with the rampage quick release mirrors. They appear to be identical to the RR. A buddy of mine has the RR and I can't tell the difference...and they're half the price. I paid 29.99 for the pair from Qtech.

If you can't wait for shipping I know O'Rileys has them on their shelves. I believe they are $40 there.

I'm very happy with my Rugged Ridge quick release mirrors. They don't vibrate or move around at speed or offroad. Good price too, I bought mine from Quadratec for about $59 and change.

I have the American Outlaw mirrors. They're more expensive but I really like them.
