Mirrors w/o doors????
What do some of you do for side mirrors when the doors ar off. I've thought
about getting motorcycle mirrors with the long threaded rod and double bolt
them onto the open hinges. Anyonr done something like that? I've looked
around for them but coul not find them. Where could I purchase a set?

I bought a set from Quadratec. Actually these:
http://www.quadratec.com/
Search for part# 13111.02
In retrospect, I would have prefered the mirror movers:
http://www.quadratec.com/
Search for part# 13125.00
My thinking at the time was that it's easier to leave
the mirrors on the doors and just add or remove the other
set when the doors are off or on. However, the stock mirrors
are far superior. For one thing, the stock passenger mirror
has that 'magnified' effect so that I can see more. The
after market mirrors did not, so I found I could not see as
much as I could compared to stock. Also, they vibrate a lot.
On a related note, I think this is a great product for keeping
the doors stored when not on the Jeep:
http://www.doorcaddy.com/
Looks like their site is currently down.
Here is an article about it:

Hope that helps.
