You need to get a set of mirror movers, relocates your door mirrors to the windshield hinges, so you are legal to drive.  |

Have them.... oh wait the dopes at Rugged Ridge packaged 2 passenger side re-locater brackets, still waiting (2 weeks now) for the new set. Needless to say, will never order from Rugged Ridge again!!!
So far I have seen about 8 jeeps with no mirrors here, still makes me nervous about not being legal.

You don't need a side mirror to be legal: Chapter 90: Section 7. Brakes, braking systems, mufflers, horns, lights, audible warning systems, and other equipment; compliance with safety standards; stickers and emblems...Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with at least one mirror so placed and adjusted as to afford the operator a clear, reflected view of the highway to the rear and left side of the vehicle...www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/90-7.htmSafe is a different question... |

I thought in MASS you needed two mirrors for a passenger vehicle? So what that law is saying is a panel van (no side or rear windows) wouldn't need a right side mirror? sounds funny to me!

A panel van you still 1 mirror to see out of It doesnt matter where it is If its inside on the windshield or outside
All you need is 1 mirror

As it was explained to me by my local inspection guy, these days (since last October) a vehicle is supposed to have the same number of mirrors as equipped from the factory.
Mass General Laws defer to RMV laws in several areas.

I got the idea off a forum elsewhere and have used it once, I dont have mirror relocation brackets for my JK yet so I bought 2 of those convex 99 cent mirrors and attached them to the two sides of the jeep windshield. Couldnt honestly see crap out of the passenger side but the drivers side worked-ish  Sort of lives up to the letter of the law but defiantely better to have the real mirrors on... Soooo nice to get the doors off though.... |

Driving with no doors is cool but I prefer 1/2 doors. They give you a place to lean your left leg and an arm rest for your left arm plus the wind doesn't puff your shirt all up.
