Default Side view mirrors on TJ

Bought a 2005 Unlimited, my first Jeep, love it already.
The mirrors are attached to the side panel and and not the door frame. Previous owner used to tow something, I assume the put the Jeep mirrors over the spot where his own 'trailer mirrors' were.

Are the mirrors suposed to be mounted on the doors? Alos anyone know where to but 5 piece wheel lock set in Canada? Canadian Tire only sells McGard 4-piece Wheel Lock Set.

thanks

I think the mirrors are supposed to mounted on the door panel in an 05, and I wouldn't bother with the wheel locks. They're more of a PITA than they are worth. Very easy to get through. Easier to park in safe places.

Anybody can go buy a wheel lock removal kit these days, so I really wouldn't worry about getting wheel locks, since they are not much of a deterrent, if somebody wants your wheels they'll take em. But if you want them just go to any tire shop that sells rims (kaltire, fountain tire etc.)
