Nice video J, dig the soundtrack.
Now I'm ordering those Kolpin mirrors. What can you tell me about those Rock Sliders? Price and are you happy with them?

The mirrors are good. I've got a stretch of hwy between my house and my lease. The mirrors keep me from turning my head around every 7-8 seconds at WOT. Only thing worth mentioning... the passenger side mirror is really only useful for the passenger. (It's the lower mounting location gives you a glass full of rollbar) But then again, the passenger appreciates looking behind, so it's not a bad thing, really.
I know you've got concern about the convex shape of the mirror... but it gets the job done, none the less.
The Ricochet Rock Sliders ($249 gray aluminum / $299 black aluminum) haven't really been tested, but it helps my feelings knowing they are down there. It took me about 10 mins to install. 40 torx head is required to drive the bolts... and I have a Makita impact driver that cinched it all up tight !!!
I would recommend them if you are comfortable with the High Impact Plastic stock center skid plate.
Certainly cheaper than full skids under coverage!
I bought them because I didn't like the designs of the crossbar floorboard support.

That's odd, I can use the passenger side mirror just fine????The mirrors are good. I've got a stretch of hwy between my house and my lease.

I really do like them. On my build page Garage (exterior modifications) I listed all accessories and prices.

Yeah? They can be twisted around the bar to mount different angles. There's a good chance if I worked at it, it wouldn't be an issue. But like I say, I'm not really concerned because the passenger gets a mirror.

I did have an issue with the convex, that's funny that you remember that. Well, for the price and being breakaway, and winter is coming...they shipped today from a place 2 hrs from here, $40.
I'm definitely peeping on those rock sliders, hadn't caught those on the forum until now. Little pricey but some black one's on the Serpent would be bad ass. Are they solid before install?

Kolpins are a great mirror at a great price. You'll like them. After having used them for 6-700 miles, IMO, they work the best mounted low, fold in when struck by brush if you forget to bring them in on tight trails, never broken glass, and I think they look the best mounted low.

With the hood decal and the paw prints, did you consider naming it "Blue Bear-y?"

Video was great and I like your rear rack/box setup. Haha, I said rack... and box.
