Door off mirrors... Rugged Ridge?

[BigRed97]

Has anyone used these door off mirrors?

I like that they don't go in the door hinge, as I'll be getting soft doors for rain

See attached, perfect solution

Those do me absolutely no good because I don't and won't have tube doors.

Any one use the mirrors I asked about?

 

[Jake]

Sorry about that

Curious as well about these mirrors. I almost ordered them myself.

They have terrible reviews on the Quadratec site

What gets me is pretty much every mirror available has terrible reviews on that site. I really wish they would release the mirror movers for the JL/JT. Really need something good for summer.

That's why I posted here

I have been debating the same thing as you. I intend on buying soft doors as well. I think I am going to go with the Lange Mirrors, I just can’t tell if they stick out far enough to work with the canvas doors. But the reviews seem better and I like the disconnect points. I just don’t like the bracket.

There was a dude on here last year that said he used motorcycle/moped mirrors. He found them at the local auto parts store, and apparently they are threaded exactly the same as the bolts that hold on the cowl corner trim just in front of the door hinges. He was able to thread the arm of the mirror directly into the Jeep, which gave him mirrors that weren't attached to the doors. I think they were dirt cheap also. I'm going to look into that myself when spring comes.

From what I read the CMM Off Road are the gold standard.

So you have a $50 option and a $300 option and everything in between. I am leaning to the QT mirrors

I remember seeing that. I believe it was a M8x1.25...
I like the idea but i don't like the idea of someone or something bumping into it and possibly snapping the 8mm stud like a twig. Then having to extract a broken bolt....

At least by the look of the RR mirrors, they are in tighter to the body and have the surface area of the windshield hinge diameter to absorb some force....I could be wrong but that's how it looks

The CMM ones look awesome, I just have a hard time justifying that price since they are so small.

The CMM ones are way more than I'm going to pay for mirrors, regardless of quality.
Also they are useless for soft doors.

I found these other options as well

I'm just not a fan of the round mirror(prefer square)

I might try these just for proof of function.

The Amazon one scares me. The product images of it on the jeep look like they are photoshoped. lol
