I also really like my rugged ridge quick release mirrors.

Law aside, I strongly recommend them if running on the highway. A shoulder check tells you what is beside you but if anyone is comming up from your 5 or 7, you likely won't see them.

I run doorless all time and I can tell you for sure that you will want mirrors

I ran mirrorless for a while when I didn't have the doors on and I didn't really mind it. Granted I did buy a Mirror relocation kit so I would have mirrors.. But now I hate it. You can't see anything out of the right side mirror with the doors on OR off.. It kinda sucks. But I have just gotten used to looking behind me before I turn now. And like stated before. It all depends on the state if you need to have mirrors or not. I'm pretty sure here in MC we at least have to have a drivers side, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, what CrazyCasey said...on the trail my passenger side mirror is adjusted down and in so I can see how my rear passenger-side tire is doing. My driver's mirror lets me know how the guy behind me is doing.
