I bought the rugged ridge quick disconnect ones. So far I'm unsure on them but I have also only ran with them twice. So I probably need more time with them. I also didn't get up to 65 or 70 with them yet so I can't answer that question. For how fast I have went with them they have stayed in place.

I thought about the brackets, either with the cheapie add-on mirrors or the stock mirrors, but I thought it would be too much of a PITA to go back and forth with doors on and off. So I got tube doors and added the extra set of the cheapie ones -(I believe they are Rugged Ridge/Quadratec), so I always have mirrors on, ready to go. When the weather is holding out for a good period of time, I run doorless with the tube doors for daily driving. For wheeling, I could quickly and easily remove the tube doors, but most of the wheeling location are 350+ miles from me, so I put doors back on for the drive or trailer transport, and then go doorless once I'm there.
Adjusting the passenger mirror to be quasi useful on the Quadratecs is a challenge, but doable. I drive 70-85mph on the highway, and have had no issues with the tube doors or mirrors with this set up.

I just use two dome stick on mirrors on the AC Vents is it as nice as a full mirror no but it does work and for 99 cents at Walmart it can't be beat

I picked up the Smittybilt trail mirrors for around ~$60 and they aren't too bad for the price. I tried doing the mirror on the A/C vent first but since my Ace Tire Carrier blocks my rear view mirror I needed something more to see behind me.

Rugged Ridge quick disconnect units. They are ok. They stay in place, but you have to really tighten them down. And they whistle. But, they are a good size and offer good visibility.

I run the Lange originals, as long as they are tightened down no problems at 70-80. Vibrations are the biggest problem, shakey view and all.
another option, similar to the lange is this

Same as Cozdude here. It's secure and doesn't flap around at all, but only a tiny sliver of the passenger mirror is visible. It's pretty much useless.
With the rugged ridge kit came a fill in piece for the mirror on the door, so the mirrors stay on the RR brackets. No swapping back and forth at all.

I've previously done the same. They are bit tiny, but it works. And you don't need the vents with the doors off anyway. Super cheap mod.

I have the Quadra safari mirrors. I wish the poles were 6 inches longer so they were higher up but no highway issues except vibration. Its not that bad though. They're just to avoid a ticket.

I edited my post because you keep crying and bitching about it. Next time think about what you post, it's the Internet. Or stop being such a pussy.
