JL Door-off mirrors recommendations

[Surfwagon]

Bought these on Etsy from a seller called “DoorsOffDesigns”. Just a 3d printed bracket, the hardware, and some mirrors to go in. They’re rock solid steady on the interstate.

I’ll probably sand them down a bit just for polish, but I’m happy with the purchase.

Here’s a link to the seller. No relationship otherwise on my side.

How are these holding up for you?

How are these holding up for you?

I actually moved them to the bottom of the grab handle shortly after these were taken. Looks a lot better that way and it’s how the guy who makes them suggested to do it. I was being stubborn putting them up top.

I’ve not had the doors *on* in 2 months. So far so good! No vibration, even at interstate speeds.

I’d buy them again for sure.
If you put your doors on and take the mirrors off, they go back on again in 10 seconds.

Etsy link didn't work for me, but I'm now looking for the .stl files so I could just 3D print these myself.

Have you been able to find the .stl files?

I've tried a bunch of different mirrors. I hate the ones that use the door bolt. Ideally, I'd like to be able to throw the door on and leave the mirror installed, and the Lange coyote mirror was the best option for that because it's supposed to be easily disconnected and reconnected and you can leave the base installed. The ones I received though were a pain to manipulate. Either arm I used was super tight in the base, and taking the arm out required a good amount of force. Scratched up my paint as I was trying to get the darn think out and it eventually just jumped out on me. Even with the included protective tape. Plus, it's so dang expensive. High quality mirror, high quality connections, base etc. But I can't justify paying $135 when I found a good cheap option that almost checks all my boxes.

I ended up getting this: Amazon.com: Hoolcar A-Pillar Grab Handle Rear View Mirrors Door Off Mirror Anti-Shake Wider View Doorless Mirror Compatible with 2018-2022 Jeep Wrangler JL JLU & Gladiator JT, Black, 1 Pair : Automotive

It attaches to the A-Pillar similar to what's posted above me. I can leave the adapter installed and it's not intrusive. I can't leave the mirror installed so that sucks but for the price it's a tradeoff I'm okay with making.
It's sturdy, doesn't vibrate (ran it on a 70mph highway no problem), and it's a simple design.
The mirror itself SUCKS though. It feels more like plastic than glass. There's a protective film on it that needs to be removed but there's no tab to get it started so you have to pick at it and then sort of push the mirror into the housing while you work around.
I still had mirrors from the ones that go into the door bolt housing, so I swapped one of those out with the cheap mirrors and it's now much better.

Kikbax mirrors are hand downs the best! I bought these after trying many other kinds. They also hook around where the door strap connects. These don’t move at all at highways speeds. Best part is that these have foot pegs. Although you might think you don’t want them…when you have the doors off, I promise you you’ll be hanging your foot out.

Do these whistle on the highway? Are you still happy with them?

Lange mirrors

Look at these. Reason. No shake or whistle. Works with soft doors or no doors. Not a fan of the convex shape but looking to replace the mirror when I get time. CMM makes a better set of mirrors but they don’t work with soft doors when they are on.

I'm going to be trying out the Campsite Carbon mirrors this year. Bracket goes on the bottom of the A pillar with a spring loaded button to take the mirror arm in and out. They are making a more polished version now with new manufacturing. Mine is a rougher plastic bracket but I don't care.

Saw the same thing. I went with the scooter mirrors from oreilly because they can’t fold. They are on the smaller side but we’re fine driving around today. There is minimal shaking, about the same as my old dodge when the tow mirrors were folded out. And at 7 dollars a piece they work well. You just remove the one cowl screw and they screw right in.

exactly what I did too, <$10 from O'Reilly. They keep my legal, and are minimally useful.

I flipped the holder screw thing around and added a washer, makes them easier to tighten with a wrench when putting them on.

Easy, no mirrors, use the rearview and keep your head on a swivel...

Check your laws, GA laws requires at least 2 rear facing mirrors. Rear view mirror and at least 1 side mirror.

Spend the money and get the CMM ones

Similar to Shift above, I wanted A-pillar mounted ones. I went with the Amazon "Joytutus" ones and have been fairly happy- they have adjustments for the tightness of the mirror, and are relatively sturdy, although I think any tiny mirror on a long arm will have some inherent vibration.

The 20mm ball mount is fairly useless though- it's more of a screw cover that can unscrew if you have weight creating a torque in the counter-clockwise direction. I don't use them for that, so no issue for me. You can mount them on the top of the grab bar or the bottom.

I can grab some close-ups of the mounts tonight if you want to see them, but here's a pic of the Jeep with them on:
