Default Side Mirror Suggestions

Can anyone recommend side mirrors that can be used stand alone with doors off & without any tube doors attached, but also incorporate into tube doors if they are used? Not sure if anything like that exists? Read many threads where they seem to be either/or. My factory side mirrors are powered, so I'm thinking they are a pain to remove & will just stay attached to the door. I want the new mirrors to be black & not vibrate/move excessively while driving. I guess relocation brackets & new mirrors would solve the dilemma, but they would have to be easy to remove when doors with factory mirrors are returned. Thanks!

The new rugged ridge mirrors work great for me. Small bracket mounts to the piller that the mirrors slide into. i dont even notice the bracket when the mirrors are off. They are solid as well and they remove in seconds.

I'm running the Olympic Safari mirrors. They bolt into the upper door hinge and work with their tube doors, not sure if they would fit with any other companies though.

So your factory mirrors are used with these mounts (unbolt from factory mount) or other mirrors?

Your factory mirrors stay on your doors. These are a seperate mirror and bracket.

If you don't want to run separate brackets and mirrors check out the Olympic Safari Mirrors. They work with or without their tube doors. I plan on getting them soon. The selling point for me was the ability to mount on the factory door hinge. Good luck in your decision.

Thanks! Wonder if these vibrate or rattle at highway speeds?
