Recommendations for door-off mirrors?

[Sunder]

I install these in summer. Under $7Cdn:

I put them on to make my vehicle legal without doors in my province.
I rarely ever use any side mirror when I drive - I prefer to shoulder check, so keeping alignment isn't as important for me as price right now.
If I were to upgrade to better mirrors, I'd probably get body mounted ones that I don't have to keep installing in the door hinge when I remove the doors.

Yes sorry EJD I was talking about the uppers and also yes with no doors it will be fine.....For my own purpose though I was hoping to just leave the mirrors on there relocation brackets all year round, but I'm guessing that won't work in my case.

See I think it is still compatible for your application, but you might just have a little view cut off from your passenger side. Not that you can't see out of it at all. I like them because they are totally solid, and can recycle my existing mirrors.

Those are what I use in the door hinge, and they don't move or shake.

The key there is the nut on the bottom, most Jeep hinge mirrors do not come with a bottom nut. They just drop in.
That one looks like it would work pretty good.

I have the quick detach kind, but went to Home Depot and bought an M10-1.25 hex head bolt for each one so I can bolt them into the brackets I bought rather than using the quick hand turn knob type bolts it came with.
A. They hurt my hand trying to get them tight
B. They would occasionally fold back at highways speeds due to not being tight enough.

Problem solved with the new bolts.

Thanks! Read this post after searching up why my mirrors kept flipping in no matter how hard I (hand) tightened them. Trip to Home Depot and bought M8 x45 bolts and tightened them with a ratchet... boom! Great advice!

Get the DiTech brackets for stock mirrors.

We are just coming out of our summer here I was tempted to get some but I heard that some whistle and fold back at highway speeds. So held off buying.....mmm next summer me thinks lol

My stock mirrors fold back at about 75 MPH. Don't let that stop you. Shop around and buy what you like.

I found the stock screws just couldn’t be hand tightened... had to go get separate hex bolts ... $2 fix... mine were an Amazon $40 (CDN$) so maybe the ones you got will be ok?

I run these Haley mirrors when door-less and they like a champ, a little hard to see in the second picture

 

[John Cooper]

These are what I run. Got them off the bay.

I bought these mirrors from quadratec when I had my JK years ago. They work on my LJ but at highway speeds they like to fold in, never seems like I can get them tight enough or something. Anyways, I had a coworker weld a tab on them and I glued some rubber on the edge. That stops them from folding in and it helped with how shaky the mirror is. Someday I'll get a better setup, but for now this is working fine

(Edit: Sorry, don't know why a picture of my frozen AC unit was there)

I just keep use a pair of channellock pliers to get them nice and tight, has been working well with the quick release knobs.
