Default my mirror solution

Just finished these last night in anticipation of my Bestop soft doors arriving .

I think they turned out pretty good. Opinions?






















No contact with doors open, so you don't have to remove them when you put the doors back on.

You could probably run them upside down also. Those look pretty good.

Yeah, I thought about doing that or using the 2 bolts below, right in front of the factory mirror. I think they'd hit the factory mirror and/or door when you open it though. I wanted to try them this way first.

I wonder if the lower bolt holes happen to be the same distance apart as the upper ones? Maybe this bracket will fit in either location without drilling more holes.

I like them. Did you buy or make that bracket?

Just run the upside down when you are offroad with the doors off and you wouldn't have a problem then.

Edit: the lower bolt holes are farther apart. The Outlaw Mirrors actually use the upper door hinge when the doors are off. I think I like your way better and the look of it as well.

That is a lot of mirrors!

I like the look of it by itself, but would drive me nuts to check 3 mirrors on each side.

Those YJ Mirrors... they still available to buy? Was it a perfect fit for throwing those on? or did you do a little fabrication of your own?

Also, where did the mirrors come from 2K1TJ?
