Reviews for Rugged Ridge 11025.18 Rectangular Quick Release Mirror Kit in Textured Black for 97-18 Jeep Wrangler TJ & JK
easy to install, simple and functional
Work great
Great product. I have no issues with the mirrors moving, once in place, and hardly any vibration at highway speeds. They do whistle, however, but being a nostalgic guy I don't mind, it reminds of the 80s riding in my parents Chevy Sportvan.
These mirrors are solid as long as you make sure you tighten them down. For the "Quick Release" knobs, I placed a towel over the plastic end and tightened with pliers. I also used a little bit of lubricant on the threads to aid in getting them tighter. The instructions could be better. If you don't have mechanical knowledge, they could be a challenge. They performed well on the road. They do not shake and do not lose adjustment. As others have stated, they do whistle at certain speeds. I didn't find that to be distracting. I rated them 4-stars because of the incomplete instructions.
Mounting
These are much better than the usual relocation kit that utilize the stock mirrors. While the view of the passenger side mirror is still obstructed, it’s not nearly as bad as the stock relocation kit. I found that orienting the mirrors horizontally rather than vertically helped out quite a bit with this. These are easy to install, and yes you do have to make sure the nuts are pretty tight because they can be easily moved if you hit a branch. Cons: they are flat mirrors so you’re not gonna get the same type of wider view that you’ll get from a standard concave mirror. Yes, these do whistle about 40 miles an hour, but hey dude, you drive a jeep right? Because they are mounted higher than standard mirrors, frankly I think they look kind of cool as they have an aggressive stance
Great mirrors for what they are and how they serve its purpose. They do shake when drivIng and you really need to crank down these suckers so they don’t move at high speed but it was expected. Also got some cheap wide angle circular self-sticking mirrors so you can get a better view. Highly recommended for what they are.
Great mirror only problem is you have to crank it down pretty tight to keep it from collapsing at highway speed. The knob to tighten is small and hard to get a grip on.
A bit tough to adjust but nice to drive safe and legal withoutt doors. Whistles above 45mph. Too many choices in this category. Not sure if other types would work any better, except OEM style attached to a half door. Would buy again.
Nice brackets, mirrors do whistle. I notice more on the passenger side the driver side. Also wish I could find my screws to the mirrors cause I can't take my doors off legally without mirrors. Other then that it's nice.
