Door Off Mirror Options

[JTenn]

I haven't seen alot of options for door off mirrors so I thought I would share what we use for our JT's. Got these knock off Harley mirrors on Amazon for around $40 for the pair. The included studs are barely long enough so I bought some 4" long m8 all thread and cut them to the proper length. These work great.

While I envy the savings of some of the homemade solutions I see people do, I wouldn't trust them at 90mph. Lange Originals I trust at 90mph

I would trust these at 110, if I were willing to go that fast!! Actually hit 85 all the time and not even the slightest bit of vibration.

The $3 scooter mirrors are 100% stable over 85, did a 4-hour trip like that once.

I’m using quadratec quick release mirrors for tj/jk. Had 2 sets for the jk
I need the door pin hole to run soft doors. Ha. I’m only using 1 bolt. They hold fine and don’t vibrate at speed limit.
@85-90 with doors off or 1/2 soft doors on, running 40” tires, I think the wind shakes your eyeballs more than the mirrors!

You hate how much lange originals vibrate? Mine don't move at all.

These doors came with mirrors attached.Very good view and stable with no vibration.

I have some cheap Amazon ones that fit in the top hinge hole. They have plastic washers but still vibrate a little. I mostly am driving around town so it doesn’t bother me.

Yep. $8 Amazon mirrors FTW.

Yeah, i went on the highway across town and before i got off the mirrors went turned all the way back from the wind/vibrations. i tightened as much as comfortably possible, the tubes are a lil squeezed in now bc of how much i tried to control the shaking.

I had mine flip on me once with the thumb screws. Learned that day one hand isn't capable of applying enough torque. Ever since then i turn the thumb screws with 2 hands and they haven't moved at all. Been running lange original coyotes for about 9 months now, with doors off every chance I get.

Alternatively, they do come with non-thumb screws that you could put an actual Allen wrench on and gain some mechanical advantage with a single hand

I haven't had issues with the thumb screws on my Lange mirrors. I've tightened the screws on the back of the mirrors to reduce vibrations.
