mirror relo

[Kman]

I have heard of a bunch of people on the east coast getting tickets for running without their doors because of no mirrors,I think law enforcement pick certain situations to enforce as revenue generators and they can say "we sited X number of drivers for safety violations therefore we need a budget increase..." .My CJ mirrors SUCK!I'm waiting until I get the new Supertop before trying to remedy the situation.

Careful, don't get the TJ mirrors at the Jeep dealership .... they'll cost more than twice as much as any other aftermarket parts supplier.

....unless you buy them at jobber prices. Tell them you are from xyz auto repair (use the name of the biggest shop in town), and you want to do a cash sale. Chances are, they will never call to verify with the shop, so you will get their discount, which typically runs about 40% for a big shop. I have been doing this for years, and then have never checked. Heck, a couple times, the shop name I used didn't have a account, so I gave them a second name and they used that.....

FYI my YJ mirrors are very stable and don't vibrate hardly at all. The TJ mirrors are prob similar.

:shout: OK, I'm going in :gun:

If you don't hear from me in a couple of hours, call the emergency services. Or at least send Goodtimes over with beer.

You can start breathing again, I'm OK

I did manage to get a wrench on the nuts and removed a couple of screws but the screws had so much crap on them they were binding like an SOB.

Then it hit me DRILL the bastards out

Ten minutes later it's all over :yay:

Mirrors? What are those?

Seriously, my mirrors are still on the doors....hanging on the wall in the garage.

I did buy a cheap set of CJ like mirrors that bolt up to the windshield bracket...using the bolts on the side of the windshield. The mirrors suck though, as they vibrate and you cant see sh!t out of them...so I don't use them anymore. I just go without.

Things could be worse though...I have a 8" toyota differental torn apart on my workbench right now.....not sure what the hell happened, but the pinion depth changed (ALOT), and got up close and personal with the carrier.......just try and find a E-locker carrier in this stupid little town.....

I'm no wizard, as you probably already know , but you'd probably be better off with TJ mirrors. Not only do I run them with little-to-no vibration, haha, but so does Rick on his CJ.

I just looked at Rick's :shades: Jeep in my Moab 2005 pics :yay:

He has the exact same brackets that I bought. Maybe I'll stop being such a wus and see if I can get the mounting bolts off.

Maybe I'll get some CJ mirrors and drill/tap the windshield hinge for the mounting brackets.

Anyone tried this? Any probs with vibration?
