put these together this afternoon. I bought the mirrors a few weeks ago and clamped one to the drivers grab handle but it was basically useless, today was surprisingly nice so I needed a quick solution.

Total cost is under $30 - $10 per mirror from pep boys, $8 in hardware from home depot. Put them on both sides. Have some shaking while driving but still useful

For my TJ, I used self-stick adjustable blind spot mirrors stuck to the dash speaker grills. Not the greatest, but works well with no shake. Iā€™m thinking for the truck of maybe some mirrors like the ones used on computer monitors stuck to the windshield surround (inside cab)

Great idea, though I would paint the hardware.

Iā€™m using one of these and will try to grab a pic next time I swap them over. They are cheap, easy, and look good.
where are you attaching them? They definitely look better than mine but I already had the mirrors on hand and came up with something to fit them for a day

Did you go this route and if so do you have pictures? Iā€™d like to see how theY look from the drivers seat.
I did go this route. I'll try to remember to grab a pic, but for the cost and ability to return them, just pick them up.

Attaching in the same hole on the cowl as you have yours.

Iā€™ve been reading this thread and seems interesting... Iā€™d be taking my doors off anytime soon and plan on putting mirrors. Thereā€™s this comprehensive article that helped choose because there are also 4 ways on how you want to mount it, that shows in this article. I hope I made the right decision.

Except that the article is specifically for TJs, not JTs...
