I have had some bad luck with sideview mirrors that bolt to the door hinges when I remove my doors, and was kind of shocked at some of the prices out there for mirrors that attach to the inside of the Jeep, so while checking out Amazon, I found these ATV mirrors that work like a champ! the arm and mirror even detach without removing the mounting assembly. They don't blow around in the wind either. These are "ATV Tek UTVMIR1 UTV Side Mirror " for 39 bucks on Amazon. The mirror itself can be rotated around to suit the driver.

How funny, I just put these into my cart on Cabelas.com because I have a gift card but they want $63 (or $71 for the version with blind spot mirrors. I was thinking either there or on a ram ball fender mount. Looks good!

I did the Double Takes on a ram ball. Someone else posted, and I thought it seemed like the best solution to date. Just over $100, but rock solid, look cool and I put them in a roll bar bag in the back. I like those atv mirrors, too, though. Seems like the price is good, too!

I have been looking for something just like this! Thanks for posting. Almost sprung for a pair Jpeggz but wanted to try a cheaper alternative first. Already ordered off amazon will test them out this weekend and post my review!

Where did you get the ball mount? That is really awesome.

I took the long route in hopes of convenience. I bought this kit on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Doubletake-M...d=1561001395&s=gateway&sprefix=doublet&sr=8-1

Turns out that the Ram mount is 10mm, and we need 8mm. So I found this and bought some shorter bolts from Lowes: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005J43I56?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

Learn from my mistakes. You can probably get this cheaper by piecing it together. Works great, though!
I posted the parts list on my youtube video about them just fyi. The whole thing and thread on them can be read here from me and @From0toJ and @lightsout

I think your solution is far better than mine, this is slick!

I think Moto 21 was the first one I saw with it, so the credit is his. I was just posting for another good option. I think yours is pretty good, too, and cheaper. I actually looked to see if CMM sold just the Ram ball for the grab handle after this as that would make adjustments easierā€”a little of both worlds. Anyway, thatā€™s the great thing about this community, lots of different ways to do things and sharing them.

You were the one who gave me the idea as I read that thread. Thank you for putting this out as I really didnā€™t like any of the hinge mount solutions, and CMM is just too much for what it is. Iā€™m sure itā€™s priced right, but I just want to see behind me. This idea was just about right and looks great! I agree, too, that the Adventure series looks better than the round one. Again thanks for the idea!

Thanks for posting this, I ordered ONE(duh), for some reason I didn't realize I was only ordering a single mirror, the other one will be here on Monday. These work GREAT on the Mopar tube doors, I wasn't sure if they would fit but they do. I really like the look and size of these. I could turn the mirror also and make it taller. I think I prefer the way they are now though. Thanks again!!

Ha ha. Glad Iā€™m not the only one. I just assumed it was a pair. Not quite the deal it appeared to be but still seem to be decent quality and functionality.
