Default Mirror Relocation Kit

Does anyone make a mirror relocation kit that will work with the DOORS ON? I got the Mopar relocation kit with the some Mopar bonus bucks when I bought my JK. They're great with the doors off, but u cant see much when the doors are on. Taking them on and off everytime is a P.I.T.A. and it wouldn't take much to strip out the threads in the mirror post. Any suggestions?

Rugged Ridge is the same. Drivers side is fine, passenger side is blocked when the doors are on. I run the drivers side relo, and leave the passenger side on the door...

I agree. I think Mopar had Rugged Ridge OEM their bracket The instructions for both are identical. Got the Rugged Ridge on my rig. Passenger side mirror is pretty much just ornamental now while the doors are on. There are other options, but all will prove to be a PITA in one way or another. Here are the options I know of.

The first will require either removing and reinstalling mirror heads or buying a second set of mirror heads. The good news is that the mirrors are in the exact same location as when they are on the doors.

The second will require removal of the safari mirrors whenever you reassemble your doors. The good news is that the mirrors from the doors never need to be moved. For what it's worth, I have heard that the safari mirrors make a lot of wind noise.

Hope you find something that works with the doors on and off. Let me know if you do because I am still looking.

I have the mopar one and put the mirror on the relocation bracket full time on the drivers side with the door block off plate and just keep both brackets on the pass side. Doesn't take much to swap them to the relo bracket when i take the doors off
