True, but it is also about looking forward without it blocking your view.If you can use the rear view mirror to see anything out the back window your tires are too small.
Interesting....I have 37" STT PRO mounted on Teraflex HD mount and can see out the back window just fine (better than I could in my JK with same size tire)...If you can use the rear view mirror to see anything out the back window your tires are too small.
Thanks. I was going to try this myself at some point. 3/8 is not much but it's some and might make a bit of a difference. How long did it take to to disassemble, modify it and put it back?Flipped mine, moves the mirror up 3/8".
Had to pop the ball out of the socket.
There's a small molded-in key in the plastic socket that you have to carve out (1/8 wide).
Minimal gains for the effort.
Interesting.Stumbled on this today... might give it a try.

It took roughly an hour. But that's mostly due to time figuring out how things were joined. It wasn't obvious and didn't want to break something. I ordered a mirror assembly (mirror + post) to mod, since I can't leave things alone.Thanks.

I don't suppose you have the part numbers or links handy? I'd like to do much the same.It took roughly an hour. But that's mostly due to time figuring out how things were joined.

I'm looking to move it up 1" & back 1" from where it's at right now.
That will put the bottom of the mirror even with the bottom of the box.
I'll take before & after pic's.

OMG....thank you for posting this link to Seat Slammer. Had no idea it existed. I just got my 392 and seat height is an issue, as I'm 6'5".Give these a look:

Tired of not fitting in your new Jeep and hitting your head on the sound bar? Seat Slammers are the cure. The Seat Slammers will slam the rear of your driver or passenger seat by .5 inch to 2 inches. These will drop the rear only, the front of the seat will remain the same or be lifted by up to...desertdoesit.com
Not on topic, but I owned a Bronco Raptor for 4 days and the vis out the back (well actually all around) was almost nonexistsnt, made the 392 feel like it had a picture window by comparison.Interesting....I have 37" STT PRO mounted on Teraflex HD mount and can see out the back window just fine (better than I could in my JK with same size tire)...
I, for the life of me, cannot figure out why they did it the way they did. It is a bit of a challenge getting it in just the right spot (or the visor hits it when deployed), but dang, my way is so much better for visibility.I never tell people what to do. But you should submit this to Jeep.
you just put that mirror where it is best placed.
Haha you beat me to it! I had also purchased the mirror assembly and intended to get to it over the holiday but things got too busy with fam.I, for the life of me, cannot figure out why they did it the way they did.
