May be a silly question but for you guys who run doorless what do you do mirror wise. I know they have relocating mounts available but is that what most do or take chance with tix. If so how much is tix. Want to pull my doors off but since Im a newbie want to cover basics

You definitely don't want to run without mirrors, its very distracting. I ran without mirrors for a few weeks and found I spent a lot of my concentration on looking over my shoulder instead of at the road.

I run the Rugged Ridge relocation mirrors personally. You leave the mount on the A-pillar permanently and just attach the mirrors when you're doorless. My only complaint with the RR mirrors is that they're flat instead of convex, which makes it a little harder to see.

Order some die tech mirror brackets. They put the mirror in the stock location, so no line of sight problems on the passenger side and are very well made.

i converted to soft doors so i have to have alternate mirrors all summer. So i use ruggged ridge relocation brackets aka mopar. Looks factory.

Lange quick mirror 2s look nice too.

Any mirror that uses the hinge wont work for me so....

+1 for DieTech... Awesome product... I bought a set of bestop mirrors and keep them mounted on the brackets for quick assembly (and due to the fact that I can't use my power/heated mirrors with all the wires)... I'd suggest you check them out... Very solid steel construction. Link below:
I posted too soon. "If I could find something more stable for daily use that didn't require the filler plates on the doors, I'd be interested." Well, you got me interested. That's a great solution with the extra mirrors. Thanks.:thumb:

I'll put in another vote for Die-Tech. I use my side mirrors allot and the majority of mirror replacement brackets move the mirrors into wierd positions. Additionally, the complete mirror replacements (i.e. motorcycle mirrors) tend to vibrate and hard to see out of. These mirror replacement ideas are fine for someone that dosen't use their side mirrors and just wants to keep the cops off their backs but aren't for me. For useable side mirrors the Die-Tech brackets are great because they put the mirrors in the same place as when the doors are on.They use your stock mirrors so you can either take the ones off your doors or go buy an extra set.

I used these too. I didn't feel like waiting for any kind of shipping and O'Riellys had them in stock. $17 each plus a few bucks in SS hardware. I plasti-dipped mine to get rid of the shiny.

They do vibrate, even at idle but it doesn't bother me much. It takes me back to the days of my cj5 where everything vibrated heh.

Anyone using the DieTech brackets on a 2013? Their site says 07-10.
The reason for that is that since 2011, they started using electronics in the mirrors (motors, heater), so in order to use the bracket, you will need a spare set of mirrors... I have it set up on my 2012... Like I said earlier, you can get a set of Bestop mirrors and leave them on the brackets... That's what I do anyway...

The idea with these is that if you don't have any electronics in the mirrors, you can just take your existing mirrors and remove them from the door once you take it off to put on the bracket... I'm sure you get the idea...
