🔍 Rugged Ridge 11026.02 Mirror Relocation Bracket Kit: Enhanced Visibility for 97-02 Jeep Wrangler TJ Review

Arrived quickly, was packaged great and bolted right onto my 1997 Wrangler TJ, but they make it almost impossible to see the mirrors when the doors are open. I got them to make it easier to switch between working with and without the doors, but they have all but eliminated my passenger mirror with the doors open. If the doors are off, they're fine. Also, it doesn't help that one of my factory mirror mounts broke while pulling the mirror out, so I got completely stuck on them. I'm definitely…

Sturdy construction, but no fastening screws, which is very annoying. As previously mentioned, with a soft top you will NOT be able to see the passenger side mirrors with the doors open. Can't believe they don't have an extension on the passenger side bracket to extend the mirror 3 inches to accommodate this. I had to buy an extension cord on ebay to allow the passenger mirror to be used with the doors open. Note that if the mirrors you are using have a plastic mold * around the screw they will

Well, live and learn. First, they come without instructions. Second, there are several instructional videos on YouTube.

If you don't already have the required torx bit to remove the screws, please for god's sake buy a heavy one or risk bending them like I did with mine. Also note that these mounts are designed to withstand heavy use. For example…

Overall I am happy with these brackets as they are durable and look good when fitted to the frame. When standard mirrors are fitted and pushed down they provide a snug and stable fit. My mirrors are fully rotated to give as much side clearance as possible, but I was able to easily adjust both mirrors to be visible when driving with the doors open . Now for the cons, and there are several of them: - There is no substrate on the mount, there is metal everywhere. It wasn't my intention to screw…

These mirror motion mounts were easy to install and fit my lightbar perfectly. You can still fold your windshield with it. Here's a little guide on how to install them with minimal effort and tools. An arthritic chimpanzee can do this using my method. Please note that the front passenger mirror is partially dimmed when the doors are open. Hence the rating is four stars. Tools needed: 17mm deep socket. . Remove the doors from your favorite Wrangler2. Using an inexpensive heat gun, heat the head…
