Doors off mirrors?

[Cman1525]

I’m new to the Jeep world and am expecting delivery of my first Jeep Gladiator mid to late July. I’m looking for the best mirrors to keep me street legal with the doors off. Ones that are easy to take on & off that won’t add lots of time to getting on the road once the doors are off and ones that won’t break the bank. Suggestions?

I ordered mirrors from Quadratec, the square ones for $50, that go in the the door hinge hole. I read the reviews about whistling and the mirrors moving but I figured I would order them anyway because they were only $50.
The whistling was distracting so I bit the bullet and ordered the CMM mirrors yesterday. Pick your price point

I just got a set of JPeggz and I love them. No noise, no vibration, and they are US made. I highly recommend these.

@ZTMAN yeah I read the reviews of the quadratec and the whistling was a no go for me. These are great options I couldn’t find much on a google search that looked worth while both of these look like contenders. Thanks!

@Benbean66 does the foot peg provide a relaxing foot rest or do you find yourself not using it?

The real question is do you plan on using them, or are you just trying to stay legal. Across the border in SC we don't need them, but I would like ones that actually work. I have been going mirror-less for the longest time due to not finding anything that would be that beneficial.

I am still waiting on Quadratech to release their mirror movers for the JL/JT personally. I was about to pull the trigger on the CMM ones, but I just didn't like the idea of paying all that money for such a tiny round mirror.

I use these. They are both convex and work well but are not cheap

To be honest the initial goal is to be legal. I never even thought about it until the other day someone told me that we need them in NC to be street legal. However, I will say I drive a lot without a review mirror and even when I do have a review mirror I use my side mirrors more often. I haven’t tried to drive without side mirrors before so I’d imagine the goal to be legal will also lead to that I’ll prefer to have them especially when switching lanes to the right.

Lange Coyote Mirrors. Easy on and off and zero flutter at 75 mph!

I feel the foot peg is perfectly placed, is very comfortable, and I use it every time I drive. I'm 6'5" and it's nice to be able to stretch out a little.

I was freaked out at first, always being somebody who used side mirrors, but with the great center visibility got used to it. Not sure if this is for better or for worse though, lol.

Since you want to actually use them, you may be in the same boat as me, struggling to find something that truly is a good square full sized mirror.

I am not a lawyer, but I will say that I have seen a lot and driven a decent amount in NC without mirrors. Not sure how strongly this law is enforced. Personally I am waiting for something truely useful.

Here is what I rigged for like $20 to keep it legal.

Mirror and knob are from McMaster Carr.

These were spare mirrors from my motorcycle. The bolts are from my Sunrider top. Had to add a spacer because the bolts were long. They ride great, no noise/vibration. Have great visibility and it was all stuff I had laying around the garage. If you don't have any, ask your friends or look on craigslist. I bet you could get a set for around $20.
