I used and loved the set of Rampage Tow Mirrors on my JKU. Unfortunately, with the new two-piece mirror surround, they were not a simple solution to be used on the Gladiator. So I searched around to see if Rampage or anyone else was making something similar. No luck. I was not a fan of the "universal" tow mirrors so I decided to design and 3D print some adapters. These adapters allow me to use the JK style Rampage Tow Mirrors. I am thinking about mass producing these and offering them for sale on E-bay or Etsy, but would like some input and to gather what the level of interest would be. Below are some pictures of the concepts in blue and final product in black. I've had them mounted with no issue for days and even drove through a pretty nasty storm/wind with them successfully. What do you guys think?

They look good. What would the time-line and cost be?

Time-line would be a few weeks before I had a stock built up of them. What I am running into is the cost. Made of ABS it would be about $27 a "set" (4 adapters, 2 hooks and mounting hardware). I had forgotten how inexpensive the mirror extensions are ($32 on Quadratec), but at the end of the day for around $60 you'd have what I consider to be the best option for the JT/JL in terms of towing mirrors. At this point, I would just sell the adapter kit and leave the extensions to be purchased separately. Thoughts/suggestions?

That's exactly where I was. Let me see about getting them listed for sale on E-bay.

That is by far the cleanest solution I have seen for these trucks. I dont have a need for something like this often but for a reasonable cost I would have them on hand just because the mirrors are too damn small otherwise

I ordered parts to make 25 kits this morning. I should have them around May 8th, at which time I will be making an E-bay post for them. If anyone would like a set before then, please let me know through PM and we can potentially work out a solution. Cost will be $30, plus tax (shipping included).
