Title: Mod of the month...
Post by: Krawler00 on August 08, 2014, 09:14:47 AM: I win hands down. Was in a local auto parts store yesterday and came across some convex mirrors that looked as if they would fit my round mirrors on the jeep. Alot of us run the same style detachable mirror so listen up cause you're gonna be thanking me later. $2.99 a piece with adhesive tape backing. They fit perfectly and now I can see everything. Best $7.00 I have spent in quite sometime. Your welcome //;D//

What parts store?

I have a 2" or so round one in the corner of mine but those look a lot better.

Post by: DOUG on August 09, 2014, 03:57:42 PM: I have the small round fish eyes on both sides of the round removable mirrors. Same way on all of our vehicles so the ladies are comfortable in each car... and the jeep.

I see this would be a huge improvement for the passenger side but needs to say objects are closer than they appear lol.

Is it ok as the primary mirror on the drivers side knowing I have multiple drivers, and one is 15?

After driving with it today, I would say yes

Post by: LUVNMY06TJ on August 10, 2014, 09:29:23 PM: That's a nice find Ben! After ripping off my passenger mirror amongst other things back at Windrock I need to replace my mirrors. I kind of like the antenna looking ones y'all have. My questions are:
1. Where do they attach?
2. Do they vibrate going down the highway?
3. Do they give when struck on trail? Or do I need to remove them when wheeling?

Post by: Krawler00 on August 10, 2014, 09:48:15 PM: I bought them from sammys store but can't remember the name brand. They attach to the same mirror location as you have now. I mounted mine lower to see more. They do not vibrate. Yes, they will give when hit.
