Default Mikes Mirror Mod - for doors off (cheap)

I found an ultra cheap and effective way to add mirrors when the doors are off.

This is for the 2007 Jeep JK's only.

First, find your AirConditioning vent. (Notice windows in the distance are an AutoZone Parts, This can be accomplished in the parking lot)


Next, turn it closed so the flat/solid side faces you.


Third, Take the small round mirror you just purchased in AutoZone and line it up to make sure it is slightly smaller than the vent,


Fourth, remove the back piece of paper that reveals the sticky surface of the foam tape which is on the mirror and stick it in place.


Enjoy it!


And add another to the passengers side if desired and adjust for best view


This mirror can be rotated out of view to use the Air duct as usual.

Cost = $1.99 ea.

This has been "Mike's Mirror Mod" tell everyone about it!

Damn yours was cheaper than mine. But I can also see my mirror. Came from Autozone as well.

Default Attention Rubimon...

This mod may give Rubimon's "drilled side mirror" mod a run for its money in the "best mod for those with NO budget" category. Stay tuned for this year's Jeepy awards to find out!

Great idea - good looking out!

Good idea, but I'm thinking the 5-0 wouldn't find it so clever. but good idea none the less.

That was my first thought when I saw this, but I'm guessing it'd act as a "get out of jail free" card at least once, if you're polite and a good talker...

Hey! Hey! That is a $1.99 per side plus tax don't forget.......That's like over $4.00. So let's not get all school girlish about it and remember what mod is king!
Sorry, just needed to keep everyone on track!

I might put one on to shave with.
