Question Side Mirrors

I have full doors on my JK. I was reading that the Warrior Mirrors will not work with full doors, only 1/2 doors. Any recommendations on what to use???

check in the write up section under the write up index (at the top). There are a few good solutions for cheap.

With the Warrior brackets you can leave the brackets on with the doors on but you need to move the mirrors back to the doors or else the door will hit the mirror and not open all the way. It is one torx bolt to move the m back and forth.

Here is mine with the brackets and doors on. The broken mirror is due to a run in with a tree while off-roading this past weekend.

I have the rugged ridge mirror relocation brackets and I love how they look. I only put them on to check the doors hitting them and it doesn't. I did hear from someone that had them who said the passenger side is about half covered. He used a smal circle blind spot mirror on it and said it worked great. But I love how they look.

Is that a dent from the bracket or mirror?

That was caused by the bracket, I was removing the retaining strap and did not have ahold of the door and it swung into the bracket. If the retaining straps are on the doors will fully open without touching the bracket.

Does anyone know if you can mount the smaller mirrors off the doors? Im talking about the ones that are basically square mirrors attached by a length of bent iron rod (my description sucks) like on the old old cj's and such. I have the 4dr JK and would like to swap em out I HATE those huge ass mirrors.
Thanx
Glenn

I have mirrors, I am unsure of the brand, that mount in my door hinges that will work with half doors or without. I will post when I can find the brand, I got em from 4 wheel parts and they were 119 for the pair.
