    There's one on fort meade where I work, but then you'd be driving more north than you need to. Or my driveway obviously but I'm not fancy and don't have a lift

    Trying to decide on mirrors right now for the tube doors. I was going to go cheap but I still want good visibility because I have none in my truck, between the windowless cap and spare tire in the way. I was going to mount a mirror on the actual tube door itself, but then had the idea to mount a mirror on my bumper hoops. Would that look absolutely fucking ridiculous?

    I think they look cool, I think you need to figure out how to attach them to the doors though. Maybe an extra bar as part of the A pillar part :notsure:

    Man I'm so interested to see how this pans out. :popcorn:

    Well if I were to get these, I'd put them on my front bumper hoops. I'm moving away from that idea though. For one, it'll look ridiculous. Second, I'll have to install them every time I install the doors. If I do a door mounted mirror, it gets rid of that step.

    Here's what I'm leaning towards instead, mounted on the door itself. Nice and giant for good visibility.

    Much better idea and more along the lines of what I was seeing in my head at the start of all this.

    Well, I've been known to be very un-PC so I had to check myself ;)

    That's cool! I love looking at pics and footage after the fact, but I'm always in the moment and forget to take pics and video. I need to get better about that

    Dude, you need to pick up.
    Just in and out. I'd sit in the drivers seat, and have Tyler help me get the exact location I want them, and then weld the bracket in place. I want in and out though so I can fold them in on the trail if needed.

    Long story short I'm reorganizing my garage and getting rid of a lot. So my kitchen is wrecked.
