What was done to your rig this week?

Rugged Ridge Mirror Location Kit

"...partially blocked..." - seriously? I don't know about anyone else, but I call this "MOSTLY blocked". "Partially blocked" would be if you can only see 2/3 or even 1/2 of the mirror. This is maybe 1/4 of the mirror. I'll be looking for a machine shop to have them make an aluminum spacer to move the mirror out a little. Maybe that's something Rugged Ridge should include with the kit.

Quadratec has a set of "Automatic" mirror movers that mount to the A pillar just like the Rugged Ridge. But, since the mirror attaches to an articulating arm that moves with the door, the mirror is always in the factory-intended position. The trouble is, since they also come with new mirror heads, they're a whopping $250.00. That's $200.00 more than I paid for the Rugged Ridge kit.

But, at least the instructions for this kit told me what tool I need - the instructions for the Rugged Ridge Hood Catch kit I installed a couple weeks ago only said "Suggested Tools: Basic Hand Tools." Well, no shit genius.

I had those. I could only put up with that for a month. Traded them first chance I got. Only thing it does is keep you legal.
 
I believe I'm going to do the same Frank.......I was going to mount them on top but this seems to be a better idea and a better look as well......thanks for sharing :thumb:
