side mirrors w/o doors

[vegasbronco1]

I am wanting to take my doors off for the rest of the summer. My side mirrors are mounted on my doors though. I was wondering if any one knows about a side mirror that could clamp to the rain gutter or something. If at all possible I would like to avoid putting any more holes in the fenders. If anyone knows of anything please let me know.


Thanks John.

I have one that came off of a 37 Hudson, I use it for that same reason

I havn't seen anything like you want. When I run with no doors, I just have no mirrors. The law has never bothered me (if that's your concern).

Alot of people use CJ5 mirrors which are designed to mount to the windshield frame. Have you thought about making your window frames removable? Youll still have the doors and mirrors, but no window frame sticking up there.

These were made by Mike Bowlin His "Mikey Mirrors" I have his e-mail in here somewhere i'll post it if your interested..

I had the same dilemma last summer. What I ended up doing was taking an old pair of universal truck door folding mirrors, drilling out the pins on which they pivot and bolting them into my door hinges. The mirror support fixtures had to be bent a little but it looked ok and it didn't cost much.

I use Jeep mirrors mounted to the bottom of the windshield. I had to swap part of the brackets around and redrill the passenger side so the arm was in the right position. I would try to get a pic but they are off it right now while it is awaiting paint.

I believe that Cage off road is working sonsome universal mirrors. I saw Jim posting over on www.fullsizebronco.com and we asking him about his radius arms and SAS kit, and the topic came up about mirrors. Hopefully he will chime in if he sees this.

Here is what I did. I bought a small truck mirror from Pep-Boys for 19 bucks and twisted the bracket to line up with my windshield. Then used self tapping screws to attatch it to the windshield frame.side mirror

Mirrors.. what mirrors? I don't even have them on my doors since I filled in the stock holes when I painted it several years ago and haven't rigged something else up yet. I'd like to see more on the CJ idea on the windshield frame.

One of these should work.

Pirate eb:

The law is definetly my main concern. I would chance it but knowing my luck I would get caught. I am not positive but I am pretty sure it is law to at least have a driver side.

SC 74:

I would also like to see some more on the cj mirrors if possible.

How do you make the frames removable?

I apreciate the help and ideas. No one knows of any that could just clamp on the rain gutter, because they would not be permanent. I would only use them when the doors are off. I would rather not drill any holes in the windshield frame. I will if I have to but would rather not.

I have Grote ones on my fenders.
I like Mikey's windshield ones though! Those look slick!

I tried to find some that just clamped to the rain gutter, and like I said I found one that clamped to the rain gutter off of a 37 Hudson, I asked the street rod boys and they knew of some apps that were like your request.

So where would I be able to get them and how much? You wouldn't happen to have any pics would you?

 

[feitctaj]

you live in Vegas , I would ask the street rod boys there, I asked in the local areaand a guy told me of a local guy that might have them. I can't give you a photo right now as I a mnot at home

The Grote Mini-truck mirrors from Napa will mount sideways on the windshield. Someone on here had posted a pic of them mounted that way. I have them on my fender. Work great!

Check out Broncolove's trucks (do a search for his username/gallery, the copper truck has them for sure). He's got the CJ mirrors and it looks pretty good on his truck. One day i'll do that mod myself.

 

[broncolove]

;D Heres the CJ mirrors on mine ;D

do those swing forward away from the side to keep from snagging limbs? God do we got limbs up here
