Mirror Relocation Brackets
Okay, this is definitely a newbie question (And, I did try and find an answer via a search but I've got newbie skills on this site too!) but do folks here have an opinion regarding mirror relocation brackets? Was thinking of just ordering the Mopar ones from my dealer as a start in developing a relationship with them but if there is something significantly better on the after market, I am all ears! Any thoughts? Thanks.

Your better off getting either bicycle or motorcycle mirrors to drop into the hinges when you take your doors off.
The Mopar brackets are not that great, you loose allot of visibility of the passenger side.
I have a $5 bicycle mirror and it works great.

I havent had any visibility issues with the mopar style brackets. The fit is perfect. I got mine off ebay for $25. And yeah its not the newb skills, the search feature for this site sucks.

All of the relo brackets are fine on the drivers side, but with the doors on, the passenger side mirror can be a problem. Either use the little stick on blind spot mirrors, or just run with the driver side relo and leave the passenger side on the door.
I like the design of the RR relo's, but grab the mopars if the price is right.

I running the Mopar on the driver side and a sticky on the A/C vent passenger side. The Mopar bracket moves the mirror to far forward on the passenger side with the doors on I couldnt see anything!!!

I am running the Die-Tech mirror relocation brackets and they are just the same as stock (Placement within about an inch of factory) They cost about 70 bux but were well worth the money.
