Mine arrived, installed and tried them out towing the boat. They work very well. Very quick and easy to attach and remove. When they're in place, they're well secured (better than the slide-on / clamp down universal mirrors I've tried in the past). 3D printing quality has come a long way. The mirrors don't extend too far from the original ones but definitely give a better viewing angle than the stock mirrors. Thanks Thorn.

Using a tape measure, the stock Jeep mirrors outer edges are about 75.5" apart. Add 11" for the Rampage mirrors with Thorn adapters. I suggest sticking a 2" convex mirror to the outer corner of the Rampage mirrors.

I bought convex mirrors from Amazon; Pep Boys, O'Reilly etc. also have them. I will stick one on each Rampage mirror the first time I tow and use them.

Thanks for the order! Good news on the printing front. My second printer arrived yesterday and is up and running. This means shorter lead-times and more available!

I used and loved the set of Rampage Tow Mirrors on my JKU. Unfortunately, with the new two-piece mirror surround, they were not a simple solution to be used on the Gladiator. So I searched around to see if Rampage or anyone else was making something similar. No luck. I was not a fan of the "universal" tow mirrors so I decided to design and 3D print some adapters. These adapters allow me to use the JK style Rampage Tow Mirrors. I am thinking about mass producing these and offering them for sale on E-bay or Etsy, but would like some input and to gather what the level of interest would be. Below are some pictures of the concepts in blue and final product in black. I've had them mounted with no issue for days and even drove through a pretty nasty storm/wind with them successfully. What do you guys think?

I’d like to order a set from you. What do I need to do?

Just received mine. Great quality and fit perfectly. Thank you for engineering these!
They were shipped quickly, but USPS was slow as mud.

Dan,

Thank you for the feedback. The USPS seems to be hit or miss these days, but I'm hopeful they will improve as the year goes on... Thanks again!

I ordered parts to make 25 kits this morning. I should have them around May 8th, at which time I will be making an E-bay post for them. If anyone would like a set before then, please let me know through PM and we can potentially work out a solution. Cost will be $30, plus tax (shipping included).
Is there an eBay link for these adapters now?
