Re: Mirrors w/o doors????
I bought a cheap $10 motorcycle replacement mirror and welded the end to bolt.
I put the bolt through the hinge and tighten the nut.
It looks good, was cheap, and is totally worthless as a rear view mirror. :-(
A motorcycle mirror is too small to be any use on a jeep. It really needs to be
bigger so that you can actually see what is behind you. That said it does sort
of meet the requirement for two mirrors, so I just look over my shoulder before
changing lanes.

Re: Mirrors w/o doors????
I got one of those omix mirror relocator braket sets, but didn't use the
pass side, it's too hard to see with the soft door uppers in. In my state, I
only need two rear-facing mirrors anyway. I have hard doors for winter and
when I switch to the hard doors I'll just take the mirror off the bracket
and store it, leaving the bracket in place. It bolts to the side of the
lower half of the windshield hinge.
