They just as easy to put on as the American Outlaws. They slip right into the hinge just like them but you can actually see out of them. They only have one extra step of moving your factory mirrors to the brackets which are held on with just two screws and if you pickup an extra set of factory mirrors you do not even have to do that.

The mirrors came from walley world for about $15. The pipe is 1/2" ID blackpipe from the local home supply store. You can customize where you want the mirror by the length of the bend. There is a 5/16" nut welded inside the 1/2" pipe. 5/6" nylon washers protect the paint.

Picked it up at the local auto parts store. Had to retap the female threads to 5/16". Used a piece of 5/16" all thread to mate the antenna to the antenna base.

I went with a pair of TJ mirrors from Pep boys. $34.00 @ Bolt right up to the side bolt on the windshield brace.

I think I spent $14 at AutoZone. They're the "Euro" mirrors for ricers, but will bolt right into the windshield on a JK.

Those are what I use as well, the bottom bolt really holds the mirror in place, the top bolt doesn't exactly go in straight or all the way for that matter but basically keeps the mirror from twisting.

Every week or 2 (or after a trip on the interstate I have to take the mirror off and retighten the screw on the inside so the mirror doesn't sag)

Otherwise, I love these mirrors, they look good and are really easy to put on and take off.

I just ordered some universal Harley mirrors off eBay. Should be here Tuesday. Total came to $39. Will post up pics the next time I take off the doors.

Who makes the mirrors you have? They look great. I'm thinking of ordering them but want to be sure I order the right thing. Thanks!
