Default Awesome side mirrors for when the doors are off!

Was at Princess Auto on Portage this weekend and saw these mirrors they had for $10, and thought they would be awesome for when i take the doors off!

So i hit up canadian tire and picked up some EZ LINER spray on bed liner and some sand paper and painted them! They came out pretty good, except that when i was uncovering the mirror some of the liner came off, not a big deal!

Since i finished them i decided to take the doors off and went doorless all weekend soo nice out! Anyways I dont even have to take them off when i put the doors back on. The mirrors can just fold forward and the stock mirrors wont hit em when the doors open.

Just thought id share, i know you all ride doorless sometime!

They bolt right into the 2 top bolts on the side of the windshield! The whole mirror can swivel 180 degrees and rotate a full 360 degrees, which makes the mirror really adjustable..

Im not to sure of the brand...just some random surplus the local auto store had here. I can check the box tmrw (currently in the recycling bin), but the box did say there were skidoo side mirrors!

no problem guys! i love these mirrors....forgot to mention that youll have to widen the holes on the mirror to get the bolts to fit when you attached it to the jeep!

Picked mine up yesterday. It might be a few days before I get a chance to paint/install them though. I'll post up a picture of the box w/ part number if anyone is interested. Also there's only 2 pairs of them left at the Panet Princess.
