Side mirror options?

[Mark1911]

Jeep Wrangler 2018? Side view mirrors? Look simple enough to mount.
Yes it is blasphemy I know.

You just don’t want anything that looks out of place or just plain wrong on your bronco, functional and pleasant to look at.

Do you have those mirrors installed on your bronco?

I had them earlier on a -74, now i have something else, on my -77, windshield mounted because of softtop doors

I'm kind of wanting to use the FJ, I was looking on this link and notice the mirror has 3 female threads? I wish I had all of here just to try each Someone should make a video on all the variables

right now don't worry about it wait until your almost done. if you can get to one of the larger Bronco events this spring or summer you can see allot of options out there. the events are worth going if you love broncos even if you don't take one. one thing bronco owners like to do is share Bronco stories.
look below at similar threads for some options. I kicked this around alot when I was running doors but that was a long time ago I have the Grote mirrors and the squarish chrome Jeep mirrors but I never mounted them as I stopped swapping from doors and top for the winter and inserts and bikini top in the summer. I just leave it door inserts and haven't changed back in the last 15 years. so door mirrors went by the way side. almost all options need some kind of fabrication and drilling holes that mean you only do it once. Its like deciding what color you want to paint your bronco you just pick one and go with it a real leap of faith. its just not an easy decision made harder by the stupid wind wings. plus you need to get your seats in first.

Not at all. Clear as a bell.

OK, let me “clear“ that comment up a little.
I should not have said clear as a bell, but the view is actually clear and not blurry at all. Although it does move as in, wobble slightly.
About the same as the factory mirrors in fact, but with the larger view area it’s not as annoying.

So they definitely move around a little bit, but it does not blur the image and you can see pretty far away with them.

I like these but they install on the side of the windshield/pillar not the door, which is nice when you're using trail doors...not too expensive and you can find them on several online shops

Where did you get those? They look good

I’ve used 92-96 f150 mirrors. It takes a bit of fab work to mount them as they need more structure inside the door to support them and eliminate vibration. They provide a great field of view, fold in and break away forward as well. I have them on both my 74 and 78 broncos.

What color is that? I love it! Plan on doing a dark gray and black paint scheme on mine one of these years.

It’s definitely a good look for a bronco.

That's a really good question! It was painted on by a PO so I'm not sure, just know that it is a dark gray matte...I do like gray and black. someday when I take it all apart and redo, I'll probably go with an Audi gray, I really like how that looks...

I've been running Ranger mirrors since they came out in the early '80's (or whenever). Worked great for towing. I pulled the pass one years ago.

I have the stock mirrors, just havent put them back on. Big ones look clunky but I'll tell ya, you can SEE when you are backing up! lol

I run a KTM motorcycle mirror that is permanently mounted on my cage and all I have to do is fold it out for 9 months a year when I run my trail doors.
