I'll test these new 'doors off' mirrors so u don't have to

Thanks, I'd spring for something grab-handle mounted like that for $100 if the quality is decent.

Curious what you think of them.

I will report back. Supposedly arriving Friday. Will paint the Sarge Green before installing, tho, so may be a week before I provide review.

1. Small mirror is hard to see from drivers seat.

I've moved the arm rearwards and am able to easily see the mirror.

Harley Davidson long stem mirrors fit in hinge mount, made in the USA and less than $100

That's what I did initially on my TJ
before I relocated my factory mirrors.
A Harley Sportster mirror for $15.
I still have it! I'm all set.

You either currently own CMM Off-road mirrors or you will own them one day.

100% this.

we dont need no stinkin mirrors

If you could get the CMM's with FLAT surfaced glass...instead of the Convex glass they use, I would love them. Otherwise, they're useless. To me anyway.

UPDATE: Mirrors painted & installed. Initial review.

Pros:
1. Look cool.
2. Way larger mirror surface than my Lange Coyote mirrors - so you see a LOT more in the mirror.
3. Flat (not concave) mirror surface so objects in mirror are more accurately displayed (Coyote mirrors made close cars behind me look way further away than they were).
4. Arms are metal and well-constructed.
5. Arms stick out farther than previous mirrors, making it much easier to adjust and see passenger side mirror and almost certainly a lot better for towing (will confirm next time I tow trailer).
6. Minimal shaking at speed when tightened down well.
7. Reasonably easy to install.

Cons
1. Cannot be used with doors on (while Lange Coyote mirrors can be used with doors on). Possibly can be used with soft doors on if soft door window is slightly unzipped.
2. Somewhat time consuming to take off and put back on when taking doors off and on.
3. Actual mirror and mirror 'hood' or 'frame' is plastic and feels cheaper than the nice metal arm structure of the mirror.
4. These mount higher than stock mirrors or my Coyote mirrors or any hinge-mounted mirror. This takes some getting used to. In fact, the mirrors mount high and are large so they kinda block your view when glancing to the left or right of the windshield.

Verdict: for $90 and for the better views in the mirror and for the 'cool' factor, I'm glad I bought them. I like them. But I NEVER put my doors on (except soft doors when it rains on long trips) because the Jeep is not my daily driver. If you DD your JT, be aware that putting these mirrors on and off takes a few minutes longer than many other designs.

Nicely done, Sir.

Thanks for the review. Bummer they aren't easier on/off.

Black Friday deal is $66. I paid $99. These are good deal IF you rarely use your doors (they take a bit to remove and can't be used with doors).: https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-W...mzn1.fos.17d9e15d-4e43-4581-b373-0e5c1a776d5d

Got them a couple weeks ago on sale. Very decent with little to no shake even at ~60mph. You don't have to take off the mount itself that goes onto the grab handle, just the mirror assembly needs to come off which is what I did.
