So i took my doors off so i could do the wiring easier for my transmission temp gauge and then realized is is REALLY nice driving with no doors but i do want mirrors but daaaam those ones that plug into the door hinge or super terrible looking. This dude cannot abide. I ordered some UTV mirrors that mount to the roll cage.
First I'm going to try these ones:

If those don't work then I'm to try the TMR customs ones, these are DIY weld so i can bend up some metal and extend the mounts to be just where i want them. Unfortunately they're $200!! So I'll try the $100 bolt on ones and go to TMRs if needed. I do love a good inconsequential weld project.

Surprisingly I haven't seen many cage mounted mirrors for doors off TJs but seems like a good place to mount them.

for 200 you're just about the same as the grab handles + mirror kit

I like those but I have welded in grab handles. In fact id like to mount off the horizontal portion of my grab handle but that means I'll have to make a filler piece since the handles are 1.25"od and not standard cage size.

I think these will work nicely. The tube clamp is a bit big for my 1.75" tube on the A pillar but 1 wrap with silicon tape and it squeezes up great. I actually prefer having the tape in there as it marks the location well for removal and also probably helps with slipping under vibration.
Ah, how adorably cute. Steampunk Dumbo ears. I want some.

You guys are the worst, and that's why I like it here.
In all honestly they look better than those stupid bolt on ones that stick out a foot!

That's what i was thinking also. They're functional and small at least.

yes just put those in a page or so ago. They're working pretty well. I know i would dump more heat if I pulled the drip trays, but i like the trays.
