So I normally use side mirrors attached to Mopar cowl mounts if I have doors off, but they live there full time, as I like having them handy:
But the MORryde jerry can mounts I installed (as seen above and below) interfere with them a bit:
They still work if I have no jerry cans, with doors; or cans and no doors; but not cans, doors, and mirrors. (Because I'm lazy to stow the mirrors)
I've already a small hood-mounted mirror on the passenger-side, because sometimes LittleDog likes to put his head exactly in the way of the side mirror:
(Misleading title. Sorry, they aren't real fender mirrors)
So I was wondering if mirrors like this are still legal on a new car? I put my current ones on the driver-side and it's pretty usable. It is 5.5" viewable surface instead of 4.75" like the right side:
I can't seem to find flat mirrors, only convex, but I could probably rig something. Haven't driven with it yet, but it holds pretty steady when on the cowl, and the one on the passenger hood latch doesn't move.
Traffic ticket-wise, does this seem like a prudent idea? In New Jersey, and not sure how police view jeeps anymore; I usually get a wave, but it only takes one. When I was a kid, I used to see doors off/windshield down all the time, nowadays I'm always expecting more trouble for it.
