Got these on the night before towing the trailer.....takes some getting used to with the second set of mirrors on there, but I can now see the lanes next to us and feel so much safer and confident driving this nearly 26' trailer. Thanks for making these adapters!

Brent,

You're very welcome! You'll be amazed at how much you use them, especially once you get accustomed to having them available (as you mentioned). I've had more than a few people leave them on, by accident, and nearly destroyed them on trails/rock crawling.

Love the wrap! USA!

Thanks again!

Built JKUR to an F150 FX4, to my 2022 Mojave!
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.

(this thread needs a bump :))
You're going to love them. I consider them to be one of my "must-have" investments for the JT.

Bought them a while back, “just in case,” even though I didn’t have a trailer that required them. But since I opted for the Max Tow, made sense to get them and stow under the back seat. Fast forward to this past weekend when I picked up our E-Pro 19FBS. Boy do tho tow mirrors work great! Have already had a couple of questions about them and have been happy to provide links to Thorn. 👍👍👍👍👍

First camping trip of the year this weekend!

I got them test test fitted and they look great!

Question! What do you guys use for storage? They don't quite fit back in the box with the adapters...

I keep them in the bubble wrap bag the mirrors they came in under the rear seat. I've also seen some keep them in a small plastic ammo container when not in use.

Thanks again!

I’m sure you can find a pelican or something in a big box home improvement store also

I put mine in the trailer when I get home.
Haven't pulled the trailer to a trail yet just camp grounds. Good point about taking them off before a branch does it for you.

Will these work with the newer style mirrors that have the turn signal?

I do not know if the adapters will clear the light/lens/bump-out in the plastic. I do believe these are still consider a European setup, but can be added to those who want them. If Jeep were to change to them as a standard and there is interference, I will need to do a redesign.
