I just ordered long stem Harley mirror for left side. I'll have it in time for Jeep festival next weekend. I'll update on how I like it, but research told me vibration is minimal. PA requires one, so rear view is enough. Just wanted one more for safety. Kinda like that little one on the AC vent tho!

I used these mirrors from pepboys they work good for $16 all u need is a bolt, plastic washers, and a nut.

Optional, but recommended is to make a extender arm from somthing thicker, ex: a short section of 3/4" EMT tubing flattened at both ends.
Cost is $4 for 10ft at hardware store. I had scrap laying around.
I think this setup works best, almost a full size mirror and no noticeable vibrations at highway speeds

As far as I can tell, the Mopar relocation bracket and the Rugged Ridge relocation bracket are the same thing, except the Mopar costs more.
Those DieTechs look sweet, but they have the same issue as other hinge-mounted relcation brackets: they occupy the hinge, so you will not be able to add half doors, or throw on your full doors if needed without first having to mess around with moving the mirrors back and forth.
I'm probably going to order the RR brackets so I can use them with half doors later on.
Whatever you do, do NOT get the Lange Quick Mirror II... cheap soft aluminum, stripped set screws, weak plastic knobs, etc. etc. very bad.

just today bought a set of Pilot universal mirrors from autozone. $30 for the pair. They work great, look good, had to drill the mirrors mounting holes a little larger, otherwise bolted right up. Huge improvement over my old set of Olympic's that shook like crazy.

I just don't run any. I have had numerous cops look at me as I pass them through and intersection or oncoming traffic and I have yet to be pulled over. I know, in Indiana, motorcycles aren't required to have mirrors so maybe it's as lenient for Wranglers. However, it is a huge pain to back into a spot, switch lanes on the highway, etc. Whatever though, it's cheaper that way. Lol
