Lets say you do relocate your mirrors. What then, you obviously aren't going to have 4 mirrors so when you remove the original mirrors what do you do with a gaping hole? Is there some kind of plug? The Mopar catalogue has the Fog light wiring going through that hole

Granted they are ugly.

but I know on the TJs relocation brackets. you can not see out of the passenger side mirror with the doors on... Only when its off the mirror is useful.



Just buy a motorcycle mirror and throw it down the hinge hole. its alot cheaper and you can buy one that doesnt look like it belongs on a semi.

I imagine you would only run the "relocated" mirror when you have the doors off. When you put the doors on, you'd yank the relocated mirror, but leave the mount attached.

That's more or less what I had done on my TJ...



Super cheap and easy to install

How about these.

They have so many holes, there's barely a door there.
Plus they have that cool side step.

I had the relocation bracket that I bought aftermarket on my TJ and that is the way to go. I'm sure they will have them ready (aftermarket) by spring. True you can't see the passenger mirror, but just turn your head

no, the mount comes off too. If the mount is still on there it sticks out too much and you cant put the door back on. It uses the lower two bolts of the windshield bracket. Off and on in less than a minute. Looks stock too. $60 bucks at the jeep dealership. I didnt think it was too bad of a price.
