Typical Jeeper scenario.....

Your standing in a forest. There are paths leading North and West. In the distance you can hear water babbling in a stream....er, no wait, that's and old computer game.....
It's a wonderful day outside, the sun is shining, it's not to cold or to hot.  So what's a Jeeper to do? Remove the top and doors of course! But wait.....when the doors come off on a late model Jeep, the outside mirrors disappear also. So what, we don't need no stinking mirrors... Well most state laws say you need at least one mirror located on the outside of the vehicle.  

If your running without top and doors, you could technically argue that the mirror mounted on your windshield is "outside". But if you get pulled over, I would never advocate arguing this point with a law enforcement officer.

So what is one to do? Well lets take the mirrors off the door and mount them on the windshield frame. There are several products on the market to do this with.  After looking at a few different ones, I decided to use the ones manufactured by Sun Performance.

The kit is very easy to install, the hardest part is getting the bolts broken loose on the windshield frame.

The Project vehicle is my 99 TJ. Remove the two bolts from the lower windshield frame hinge.

Install the bracket, line up the two holes and re-install the original bolts.

Remove the nut that holds the mirror on the factory door mount. Slide the mirror assembly out of the original bracket. (don't loose the spring). Using the supplied washers, install the mirror on the new bracket.

Adjust the mirror arm to your liking and tighten down the nut. Take the spring and washers from the factory mirror mount and put them in a baggie or another container in case you ever want to put the mirrors back on the doors.

Now your ready to hit the road and still be legal. The brackets can be found in most mail order catalogs and cost 25 - 30 dollars. I got mine from ThinkJeep. This is a small price to pay compared to getting a ticket.
