Fellow Gladiator towers,
It was suggested that I share this solution on the "Towing and Trailering" forum.
Months before I ever received/purchased my Gladiator (impatiently waited), I started looking for tow mirrors as I know how difficult it was to see around my 2-place enclosed snowmobile trailer with my JKUUR. This issue was resolved on my JKUR with a purchase from Rampage Products and their 8605 Tow Mirrors. I loved them, but unfortunately FCA changed the mirror design from JK to JL and eventually JT. This rendered them useless and after contacting Rampage, there was no plan on designing an updated tow mirror for our new mirrors.
I resolved the issue by designing and 3D printing adapters for the JK Rampage tow mirrors, allowing them to be used on JT/JLs. A lot of forum members have purchased and successfully used them as you can see in m original thread:

Here are some pictures of the design:
Sets can be purchased on eBay at:

Please keep in mind and as noted in the item description, these are for the adapters only. The Rampage Mirror (P/N 8605) need to be purchased sepearately from Quadratec, Amazon, or other suppliers.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
