Default side mirrors

Looking for a permanent mounting solution for my side mirrors that will work with the AEV snorkel in place. It just not going to work with the Rugged ridge repo package. I have the filler plates that go in the door which I will leave in the door. I just need brackets and mirrors that clear the snorkel. I will have the brackets themselves available if anyone is interested minus the door filler plates.

I have Rugged Ridge permanently mounted and they clear the snorkel just fine.

I don't have a snorkel but I have those same mirrors I use when I have my doors off. They work great. They don't even vibrate to bad. The only problem I have is the wife bumping into hers sometimes. Lol

Check out DieTec, I've seen many good reviews, just not sure if they're compatible with a snorkel.

I have these from Rampage...identical to the Rugged Ridge as far as I can tell, only have the price ~$30 for the pair. They work great, zero visibility problems, no vibration to speak of. The only negative is a whistle you can hear with the doors off.

would it be possible to take off the oem mirrors from your doors and mount them like the rugged ridges? say putting the pasenger mirror on the side of the snorkel itself? the only downfall of this i can forsee is that if you have interior adjustable mirrors like mine you lose the ability to plug them back in after moving them from the door mount to the new spots.
