Hello! My first post. Installed the Garvin adventure rack on my Jeep last weekend, and remembered seeing these ATV mirrors at Walmart and thought I would give them a try. I have to say, it actually worked a lot better than I had hoped! $20. Bracket can stay on. Easy to adjust. Doesn't vibrate, rattle, or move, and I can see pretty darn good with the doors off! Will probably rust oleum the hardware and call it a day. Cheers!

Raptor liner shot of work and I got sunburned pretty good but I think it looks great. Took me and my friend 7 hrs to do from start to finish. Taking that goop shit off was the hardest part

You do not have wires under your carpet unless it is something aftermarket that someone else or you put there. All wiring harnesses, including the factory sub wiring runs under the sills where your top meets the jeep in a wire loom.

I've grown tired of my hood fluttering on highway and occasionally worry about it opening up!

I removed the spring under the hood. Works great. No more hood flapping.
