DJ5 mirror bolted through the top hinge. Works way better than the stock mirrors too.

I've got one of the mirrors off my motorcycle that I can drop into the upper hinge real quick. Works great, and its quick and easy to take off and put on.

I went for a long time with only the mirror mounted to the windshield when I was doorless though, and I was fine with that too.

motorcycle mirrors bolted to the hood.. I like them because they dont stick out, which is good for the tight trails around here. used to smack my oem mirrors all the time

A guy on another forum not a jeep one said my cd ( drag coefficient ) went through the roof and my mpg would plummet. I just finished my tank and went from 12 mpg with doors to 15 without. Of damn my drag coefficient really took a hit there.

What you lost in drag you gained in weight loss.

no kidding! The fronts on the 4 doors are 72 pounds each so the 2 doors have got to be closer to 90 or so. Love having the doors off as often as possible. Congrats on doing on the best mods you can.
