Gary,

The mirrors are about 4" square and the adapters push them out another inch or so. Doesn't sound like much, but i've been towing a long time and feel they are worth their weight in gold.

Just ordered mine and the mirrors from Quadratec are on backorder but NBD. I thinks I will love this setup when towing the tandem trailer.

Thanks for the order! You will absolutely love them.

This is where I mounted the Curt Spectrum Brake Controller.

Ordered the adapter kit from Thorn late Tuesday night and received today. Great service!

That is a fantastic price for the mirrors from Quadratec, but I’ve waited two months for back-ordered items to finally arrive. Ended up ordering from Amazon.

Will be getting the Gladiator and TT ready for camping in a few short weeks. Anticipate having better vision and reliability than the cheap CIPA clip-on mirrors that I used last year!

Mike,

Glad to hear everything worked out. I am confident you will appreciate the design and simplicity of use. I'm not sure what's up with Quadratec, especially with them still listing the low price. I know many aren't fan of Amazon, but they are in stock and readily available.

Thanks again.

I ordered the adapter set last night after ordering the mirrors. I found a set of the Rampage mirrors on Amazon for $28.

I would prefer something like that rather than taking away the 12 volt adaptor on the overland Mopar controller.

Both your adapters, and the mirrors came today. I really appreciate simple, well thought out elegance in a design. Well done Sir.

Fellow Gladiator towing enthusiast, it's been a while since I updated the group on the design improvements and overall success of users. The second revision of my mirror adapters includes an additional 10 degrees of outward angle on the driver side for a more usable viewing range. This has been a great improvement and I owe it to all of the users out there providing feedback. There are now almost 700 sets of these in use and a ton of love for them. In my opinion (slight bias) they are the absolute best option for two mirrors and offer incredible stability at highway speeds compared to universal tow mirrors.

Like always, this is a two (2) part purchase.

First being the adapters on eBay:

Second, the Rampage Tow Mirrors (originally for JKs):

Amazon:

Quadratec:

Please send me a message if you have any questions!
