Woof, affordable they are not.
They are not the cheapest option, but they are by far the best I've tried. If I added up all of the mirrors I bought in the past thinking a cheaper option would work just fine, I'd be closer to their price than I'd care to admit. The Carolina Metal Masters solution is a buy once and get it right the first time solution.

I love the idea of these but I just can't get past the billet grab handles. I personally dont like them. Wish there was a stock style type option.

Mine didn't replace the entire grab handle, just one of the mounting bolt hole covers. I'm also happy I saw someone place the mount on the lower side of the handle. They advertise using the upper mount, but it works on both. IMHO the bottom mount is a better mount position with a bonus of not being very noticeable when the mirrors are not mounted.

Having driven a Jeep Gladiator since 2015, today I have changed the tires for my car with an all-terrain Yokohama G015 that I researched thoroughly. Having this will help you choose a good tire like I did https://tireer.com/quietest-all-terrain-tires/ .It was a bit of a waste of time because I was not a professional, I needed help from my friend.

Well dang, I didn't realize that! Thanks for pointing that out!

The ride height in the front is higher than I expected with the Rubicon suspension swap, but then I realized that the front coils are expecting a 83lb steel Rubicon bumper to be there. I'll get one of those soon enough. Here's before and after images.

That bottom picture looks like Sting-Gray while the top is obviously Granite. Paint colors on the internet are so bonkers.

Installed the Iron Cross steps, they are extremely stout. I knew about the rear gap prior to purchasing but I didn't realize the gap was that big......I am trying to figure something out to fill the gap and bedline it to at least cover it a little.

Why does Gator change color so much?! It looks like Gobi here and then I see it in person and it's green.

No kidding. If I open the garage door it will be completely green but under the lights in pics it looks more Gobi.
