I Hate My Mirrors

[TigerInFL]

I hate the exterior mirrors on my JT. They are barely larger than a two packs of cigarettes. Yes I have them kicked out where you barely see the truck itself.

One of the major gripes after owning my 21 Gladiator after a few months. I don't need or want tow mirrors, but damn there is a blind spot on the passenger side that I hate. If you have anything in the backseat like a dog kennel, you can't see crap.

Even the wife hates it and complains about it. Coming from a Tundra, it's a learning curve for sure. It's probably just me but I finally had to vent.

On another note, I am paying it off this week. I am allergic to car payments.

Honestly, my main complaint with the JT Is the mirrors. I remember Benny at All Mopar parts said they offered a convex mirror for the JT that might solve the problem without an actual wider mirror.

I know we're based on a wrangler, but just a slightly larger side mirror would be great. But I guess the trade-off would be narrow trails. If I had the blindspot monitoring, it'd be ok, I think.

I'm going to see if I can find the link to the convex mirrors.

I will take them. I am in San Antonio TX. 78209. Venmo or PayPal?

I have them and they are an improvement. Glass only numbers and links listed below for model without blind spot monitoring.

Agree. I think adding a blind spot mirror is the first mod I made on my .'20 JT when i bought i new. https://a.co/6n4s6oq

i can't find it but a company on here made aftermarket glass that increased visibility, try to find the post, they looked really good, might have been a pre order if i remember it correctly

My last few vehicles before my JT had it, and it's the one option I wish I had on the gladiator more than any other. Since it's just in the taillights, I wonder if I can add it? Haven't looked too hard yet. Maybe just new taillights and mirrors, and jscan?

I ordered some on August 18 they’re supposed to be here early November…. tomorrow’s the 15th. Anyway I’m actually really excited about them they look really nice I went ahead and got the blue with Blindspot, heat, and signal. See how it goes when they show up.

I have aspherical/convex mirrors with BSM and they work great.

I'm extremely happy about mirrors on the JT. Having driven small sedans for about 20 years these mirrors are amazing.

I'll be interested to see what your opinion is on them.

I recently emailed Suma Performance and Eddy said he may open preorders again if there’s enough interest. ?
