Doors off mirror solutions ??
 
I know for a fact that it is legal (in Ontario at least!) to drive with just the rearview mirror as long as your view of the roadway behind you is in obstructed... But I tried it and I must have looked at the non existent side mirrors 20 times in a 5 minute drive!

I'd like to hear (and see pictures!!) of what people have done for mirrors with the doors off. Any takers? I bet there are a lot of creative solutions out there!

I bought a set of mirror relocation brackets.

Do you leave them that way always or do you put them back to normal when the doors are on? Post a picture if you can ... everyone here likes to see Jeeps!

I just ran highway 11 up north of North Bay... Two OPP officers cruised by and nodded... Probably Jeepers themselves... No mirrors... Very different... I have heard that relocation brackets work great... But when doors are on the passenger mirror is useless.

I do like my relocation brackets. But I did have to spend a bit of time adjusting my passenger side to work with the doors on. That's not a problem anymore since I had to have the passenger side bracket modified to work with my snorkel.

Here is a pic of the bracket I have for the driver side

And the passenger side

I just use the rearview mirror when doorless but there are also mirrors avail that use the door hinges for mounting into. Have also seen people use bicycle mirrors in the hinges. :D

In fact I don't see much in the passenger side mirror with relocation brackets. I kept the original brackets that I will put back on during the winter. Here is some pics..

People are using Harley-Davidson motorcycle mirrors as well. The stem fits into the top hinge without any modification required. I would think this too small of a mirror but i guess it is one solution.

The Harley mirrors I had hanging around the garage worked great.
I think they were off my old springer softail.

have done both mirror relocation and the harley d mirrors.. prefer the harley mirrors. on/off in less than 3 minutes and give you enough of a view to safely change lanes without running over a prius
