What mount is that on yours. Is that the Ram mount. I'm referring to the Arm?

No, mine is not the Ram mount. I just ordered the JL side mirrors (https://www.carolinametalmasters.co...mm-jl-side-mirrors-with-1-ball-mount-solution), but I ordered with the "Ball Mount Delete". It would kinda depend on if you are planning to attach anything to it. To be candid, I'm not 100% how mounting it on the bottom of the A-Pillar handle will affect attachments.

Nope wont be attaching anything to it. So yours came wit that arm that I see in your picture. Last thing, the price says $255. If that's $255 for 1 side then I'm out again like Ross Perot.

If not attaching anything to it, just make sure to order with the "Ball Mount Delete". No, it's not just for one side. That's for two mirrors and mounting hardware. Yes, arms (I think they call them "stanchions") are included. When you go to their site to order, you may get a message to put your email in for a coupon code. I used a discount code and got 10% off.

Looks like the 10% off link is a tab when you go to the link above. Also, this is the "Ball Mount Delete" bracket. Obviously doesn't have the ball attachment on it.

Got it.. expensive as hell though.

I ended up going with the Lange Coyotes. About half the cost, plus I liked the look better.

I haven’t lowered the windshield yet.

How much of a pain is it to take it down and back up?

How fast can you drive before you get too much wind?

The effort to lower the windshield involves removing 4 torx screws. It is so easy. I recommend getting the windshield hold down straps (Mopar 82215717) to ensure the windshield is securely held down. I have gone up to 60 mph with it down and in Arizona the only regulation is that you have to wear eye protection. It is hard to breathe as there is so much air coming at you. The best part is the smile it puts on your face (or your kids).

Nice! I don’t plan on going anywhere near that speed, but good to know it’s not prohibitive.

It was really easy. Remove the wipers and four bolts across the top. I got up to 55 and the wind was pretty high. Reminded me of riding a bike with a helmet with no face shield!

I did. Not hard at all. Just gotta piece together the plastic assemblies that go on the side and then mount the soft top into the track. First time you do it may take you an hour or so, but really not tough at all.

Been running this since March. Sadly, it ends today as I head to the beach. Will go back when I get there though.
