Darn, I had high hopes that I would get the mirrors before August 10th for toledo jeep fest. Ugh...

I was about to cancel my quadratec order and reorder but I guess there’s no point.

Any updates on mirrors? The door hinge ones seem to be the easiest and cheapest, but everyone says they vibrate and whistle. My buddy is a Jeep engineer and recommends the ones that screw into the windshield hinges but not sure I want to mess with that. The coyote ones seem to be the way to go but are the most money and I’m not a huge fan of the circular look. Perhaps the Harley mirrors are a good option but heard they’re too small? After riding around today with little bicycle mirrors I need an upgrade!!!

The windshield ones (rugged ridge) look the best, IMO. I ordered them in June and the estimated ship date has changed every week... currently 2nd week of October. If you look at the manual, installation is dead simple. No more to “mess” with than the Coyotes, which are also backordered. I don’t like that black mounting block that would stay affixed with those Coyotes.

Then there’s the CMM offering. Waaaaaay too expensive, seem too small, mounted too high, and don’t come out far enough.

Yeah I ended up getting a cheap pair of door hinge ones for now, will see when those others come back in stock somewhere

I’ve been trying to decide if I want to spend $100+ on a really nice set of mirrors or $50 on an ok set. I have been looking at the hinge mount mirrors but I’ve read/heard that they tend to shake loose and move a lot.

1) are the hinge mount mirrors really that bad?

2) I have a great (we’ll i think it’s great) idea on how to prevent them from moving as much. It occurs to me that you could add a bar going from the stem of the mirror to the door check bolt. I realize it’s an extra bolt, but if you take the doors off, you’ll be removing that bolt anyway.

Thoughts?

I just bought some this week, they are not that bad. The expensive mirrors were out of stock, so I got some from Amazon for $35. They are hinge mount, but have two support bars instead of just one. There are no vibrations, whistles, or slippage yet. There are three screws to adjust the ball joint for mirror positioning. I feel the will last until expensive mirrors are in stock an the prices come down.

@WranglerAz, thanks for the info! I really like the look of the hinge mount mirrors...I just don’t like wasting money. Lol!

Y'all are wasting your time and money with these quadtratec mirror's... Get the "Harley" mirrors from Amazon... They work killer, look killer, and aren't 99 effing dollars. And if you hate them, you can return them because Amazon is cool like that.

I made zero modifications. The stem is a little shorter than you’d ideally have - just make sure you get the nuts nice and tight. Mine didn’t loosen up at all.

Really hope Rugged Ridge finally comes through and ships the windshield mounts on the 9th, tired of waiting. With fall coming in South Florida, I have no intentions to keep doors on so I need them.
