Smittybilt Mirrors #7618

[Imagineer]

Looking for opinions on these mirrors offered by Smittybilt, https://www.smittybilt.com/shop/ext...rail-mirrors-black-6in-round-pair-7618/?gQT=2

The '97 I recently purchased has extra brackets on the A-pillar for mounting mirrors. These work great with the stock mirrors when running without doors, or with half doors and no uppers. However, once I install the doors uppers, the forward edge of the door window skin obscures the driver's mirror somewhat and completely blocks the passenger side mirror.

The fix for this is to move the mirrors to mount on the upper door hinge which I'd rather not do as the mirrors tend to move out of position when the doors are closed,

I'm looking for a mirror solution that mounts on the A-pillar and doesn't hit when the doors are opened (I'll be installing shorter door straps). I like these ones offered by Smittybilt because they bolt on higher on the A-pillar.

Those look good, but I have no experience with them. But, I'd think that is the perfect placement height and you will be happy. I might add these to my shopping list myself.

I had CMM Offroad mirrors on my Jeep JL and right about at the same height and it was perfect placement. Even better than the stock height. The rounded concave mirror also helps a lot.

I know it's not the same, but... maybe helpful.

I used something similar. They were a franken-mirror with brackets from one company, arms that I cut shorter which came from another company and a round wide angle mirror from a third company.

I used them full time. Ditched the door mounted mirrors entirely so I didn't have to swap back and forth when the doors came off. I actually really liked them but when I added half doors they interfered with the front edge of the soft upper. They sit in the parts bin now.

Switched to the later style door mounted mirrors on both the full and half doors. And when going doorless I use the CMM mirrors that mount to their grab handles.

I have those Smittybilt mirrors. You can see the mounts in my avatar, and my full doors don't get anywhere close to touching them. With that said, the mirrors themselves are just okay and not of the highest quality, but that's to be expected for the price.
