Doorless Mirrors?

[lightsout]

For the bolt the ball is 1” and the stem is about 1/2” and the bolt is recessed making 2” a good bite make sure you use lock tire on the bolt other wise it can work loose

I’m on my 3rd go round...

1st: I bought some Harley mirrors that someone recommended on here, but the bolts weren’t long enough and didn’t make it through the door hinge in order to get a nut on it.

2nd: I bought the 2 post square mirrors. They shake like shit, but that’s not the part that’s bothered me... they kept folding in. I would tighten them as hard I could, but eventually they would still fold in. Plus, a lot of adjustment was needed.

3rd: thanks to a post on here, I bought Ram ball mounts to try out. I put a male mount into the hood/fender cover (don’t know the technical name) and a female mount on the back of the square mirror from attempt #2. Now I’m just waiting on my 6” Ram ball arms to arrive and see how it goes.

Post a pic when you get those arms installed. This is looking like a really good option!

Got mine installed today. No worries in scratching paint with screwing bolts in and out. Seems very sturdy . Takes 10 seconds to install

Looks good!

The Enduro and Adventure mirrors are great because they are convex. Though they are smaller than say, my Kentrol mirrors I used last year - they actually show "more" and thus require less adjustability than the larger square Kentrol mirrors.

Just ordered:

(2) Ram Mount Balls & (2) Ram Socket Arms - $54.44 incl shipping
(2) Doubletake Enduro Mirrors - $57.75 incl shipping

Still need to buy two M8/1.25 pitch, 50mm socket head cap screws. From what I've read in this thread, the shortest screws that come with the Ram balls are too long (55mm), so I figured 50mm should do it. Ace Hardware near my house has them in stainless steel for less than a buck each.

So all in all, about $110 gets me some sturdy, good-looking mirrors. While I love the Carolina Metal Masters mirrors, this option is less than half the price and look just as good or better in my opinion.

when your driving at speed do they shake or vibrate ? i had a friend give me a set that mount in the door hinge hole and they shake like heck above 40.
thanks

After doing some more driving with them, they do vibrate. It's noticeable depending on the speed and wind. It doesn't bother me too much but I might try adding a rubber bushing to see if it reduces the vibration

Awesome. I got my M8’s from Home Depot and they were black already so it all blends.

Glad that there are a lot of options for doorless mirrors now. I installed the Lange Coyote mirrors this weekend. They were a great choice for me. I almost went with the Carolina Metal Master ones, but after driving with a friend who had them, didn't like that even with the extension, my view was limited on the passenger side. Also they were triple the price ($299) vs the Lange at $99 (at extreme terrain) when I bought. (Currently the CCM are discounted to $240 -- but still over double the price.)
The Lange Coyote are easy to remove and adjust, have absolutely no vibration even on rough roads, and offer a good view. And I like their looks (just my opinion.) Note they are now available in RED.
Again, good to have options finally for the JL.

Just received my Doubletake Enduro mirrors. Still waiting on the Ram balls and arms. The build quality of the mirrors is extremely good. They are heavy and beefy ABS plastic with no moving parts or vibration. The mirror is very good quality glass and is perfectly flat. However, the reflective surface appears concave, reflecting a much larger image area. These things are built tough and for $57 bucks shipped for the pair, I think it's a great deal. They are small enough to fit inside the center console or in the back storage compartment.

Balls and arms arrive Monday, so we'll see how they look and feel once installed and on/off road.

Got a pair of harley mirrors for my son's JLU, but he said he couldn't see well. Switched to the Enduro with ram arm and ball mounts. Look and work great! Thanks for the advice guys. I did a ton of research and think this is the best option unless you want to spend a lot for CMM.

^ another great part of our DoubleTake solution = it works great with tube doors. I just ordered my EAG doors and I might still rock these instead of their mirror.

Keep on mind you need to order the ram ball seperately (the included one does not work if you ordered the set). You also need the ram ball arm so there is another $50+ in parts needed. This is all assuming you are putting mirrors on both sides

You need two of these Ram Ball (x2) $10 ea

You also need the Ram Arm (X2) $13 Ea

https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Double...=B000UGZTQO&psc=1&refRID=83CT1NMXFNFE8FX3RWFV

you will also need 2 shorter 8mm x 125 bolts allen (about 2.5" if I remember)

Thanks for the part numbers. Coming from the Adventure/Dual Sport motorcycle world, I'm very familiar with these. Very stable on bikes and should work great on a Jeep.

I had some loyalty cash at an online motorcycle store that made this an easy decision for me.

Ace also carries them in Black Chrome which IMO blends better with the black ram ball (that is unless you want the shiny stainless look. the Black makes the ram ball more inconspicuous when stock doors are on.

+1 for jpeggz no vibration and great quality.
