bigger mirrors

[xjfever]

will zj or wj mirrors fit on xj? I may be wrong but they look bigger and my xj mirrors are hard to see out of.maybe it's just old age:

Are the 97+ mirrors any bigger? I know lots of people swap them to the older XJ's when they do the front conversion. They certainly appear bigger but I'm not sure if they actually are.

yes, the 97+ are a little bigger and can easily be swapped to the pre 97's.

ya....come to think of it the mirrors are really small. ...you could put those rectangle mirrors that have the brackets on them. ( like on the big diesels) that would look kinda funny though.

So easy they bolt right on w/o any modification at all.



dont mind the fact that the pass side is at an angle, I bent where it mounts on the door when I had an unfortunate incident with a tree.

so all i need to do is find a 97+without power mirrors(since i dont have power mirrors) and they will bolt right up? i want them so i can fold my mirrors in on the trail.

The problem with me and XJ mirrors is that where I like to sit, the window strip obstructs my view.

Mine are power- I just shoved the cable inside the door. They came off a "non-power" XJ though. The cable was just shoved inside the door there too.

am i going to be able to adjust them using the little knob i have on my doors now? or do i have to manualy adjust them with my hand?

[XJLI]

Your hand. The way I see it its fine bc I adjust them once and they stay that way.

[ddeadserious]

Easy swap. Bolted right up, I had manual mirrors, and these are power, so I just shoved the wire in the door, like said above, and adjusted them once by hand and they've been fine since. These mirrors are definitely bigger, and I recommend the swap.

This is a great upgrade!! Does anyone know if they offered the "manual remote" mirrors (cable adjusted) in the 97+ style or are they all electric??

I have 92 jeep cherokee with power mirrors, can i get the newer power mirrors and still be able to use the power switch without any modifications.

Bump...trying to get an answer to this as I think I want to try the swap!

The later mirrors fold in too, which is a handy feature when wheeling. My driver side mirror has been hit a few times and is just hanging on by a couple of threads on one of the bolts. It vibrates horribly at freeway speeds. 97+ mirrors are one of the things on my to do list.
