Door Removal
The weather this week in NC has been great, and it is suppose to stay that
way for a while. So I decided to take my doors off my 2002 TJ this evening. This is the first time I have done it, and I love it. I was wondering though, what types of laws are there for mirrors, I see a lot, and I mean a lot of Wranglers down here that don't have mirrors. I know they pass cops, do the cops just not care? I also scratched up the nuts that hold the door on, do you guys just use touch up paint on them, or not even bolt them on? Thanks C.G. |
Re: Door Removal
Your local DMV is online and the rules of the road are there somewhere.
Here in Ontario Canada, we only 'have' to have one mirror, in other provinces, we have to have a drivers side one too. You can get brackets to mount the mirror on the hinge or get CJ ones that mount on the hinge. One friend got a cheap set of mirrors from a Honda shop. They fit right in the hinge hole, hold tight with one nut, don't vibrate and look good.

Re: Door Removal

Re: Door Removal
In CALIFORNIA (your mileage may vary), one is required to have two mirrors
that can see at least 200 feet to the rear. The required mirror is the one mounted to the left door. The options for the second morror is the windshield mounted mirror, OR the mirror mounted to the right side door. The windshield is the preferred mirror, but if there is a load, or the rear view is blocked for any reason, then the right side mirror is required. The way I read the rules, one can elect to not have the windshield mounted mirror, and only have the mirrors mounted to the doors. Having said that, the doors can be taken off. In this case, the mirrors must be attached generally in the same location. There is a bracket that Sun Performance sells that allows you to relocate the mirrors when the doors are taken off. I don't think the right side mirror can be seen very well using these brackets, and you may want to only use the left side mirror and the mirror that is mounted to the windshield.

Re: Door Removal
Different state have different laws. Here in Washington, you need at
least a combination of two different mirrors. I knew this but figured a cop would never waste his time with it. Well, I was kinda right... I ran for 4 summers with no doors until finally one smokey was apparently bored enough to pull me over and write me a ticket. Ridiculous part is, it's a moving violation instead of simply an equipment violation, and my insurance company raised my rates! Incredible... I ended up switching insurance companies hehehe.

Re: Door Removal
Different state have different laws. Here in Washington, you need at
least a combination of two different mirrors. I knew this but figured a cop would never waste his time with it. Well, I was kinda right... I ran for 4 summers with no doors until finally one smokey was apparently bored enough to pull me over and write me a ticket. Ridiculous part is, it's a moving violation instead of simply an equipment violation, and my insurance company raised my rates! Incredible... I ended up switching insurance companies hehehe.

Re: Door Removal
NC Mirror Laws (
http://www.ncleg.net/Statutes/Genera...GS_20-126.html ) § 20-126. Mirrors. (a)No person shall drive a motor vehicle on the streets or highways of this State unless equipped with an inside rearview mirror of a type approved by the Commissioner, which provides the driver with a clear, undistorted, and reasonably unobstructed view of the highway to the rear of such vehicle; provided, a vehicle so constructed or loaded as to make such inside rearview mirror ineffective may be operated if equipped with a mirror of a type to be approved by the Commissioner located so as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway to the rear of such vehicle. A violation of this subsection shall not constitute negligence per se in civil actions. Farm tractors, self-propelled implements of husbandry and construction equipment and all self-propelled vehicles not subject to registration under this Chapter are exempt from the provisions of this section. Provided that pickup trucks equipped with an outside rearview mirror approved by the Commissioner shall be exempt from the inside rearview mirror provision of this section. Any inside mirror installed in any motor vehicle by its manufacturer shall be deemed to comply with the provisions of this subsection. (b) It shall be unlawful for any person to operate upon the highways of this State any vehicle manufactured, assembled or first sold on or after January 1, 1966 and registered in this State unless such vehicle is equipped with at least one outside mirror mounted on the driver's side of the vehicle. Mirrors herein required shall be of a type approved by the Commissioner. As far as scratching your nuts..... Use touch up paint to fix it, then the next time, use masking tape over the nut to protect it. I normally remove the door nuts when the soft top goes on and don't put them back on until the hard top goes back on.

Re: Door Removal
havent seen my "nuts" in years. never bothered to put them back on after taking the
doors off the first time. you can get mirror movers from Sun Performance, moves the stock mirror from the door to the body. keeps you legal, although with a lot of softtops its really hard to see the passenger side mirror.
