I've heard CJ replacement mirrors work well. I'll be getting them soon!

I am a huge fan of my RR relocation brackets. I can actually see out of the passenger side if it is turned the right way, which is something that the motorcycle mirror's cant do. But they are easier the brackets you have to take off in the winter.

I used the RR relocation kit and I love the drivers side. When I put a snorkel on I had to remove the passenger side which wasn't that big of a deal because you can't see it with the doors on anyways and most states just require 2 rear facing mirrors. I have since taken the passenger side mount and chopped it and added a couple inches of metal to it and extended it far enough I can see it with the passenger door on and it clears the snorkel. It was a fun little project if you have access to a welder.
After all that, the reason I went with the RR mirrors is I hear the harley style mirrors vibrate like crazy when you get up to speed and makes them virtually unusable.

I've got the rugged ridge that mount on windshield brackets and would not recommend them. The inner sleeves that come with them to secure the mirror from moving due to wind is garbage in my opinion (used electrical tape) and it's almost impossible to see out of passenger side when doors are on. Like posted above, go with Harley mirrors, they are cheaper and much easier to adjust. The only reason mine are staying on for now is because I spent $60 on them. They get the job done but there are better solutions out there IMO....
Couldn't agree with you more!
