'Been kicking around my XJ('00) for so long I've forgotten how nice it is. Starting to take it for granted. Recently got a TJ to beat in the rocks.
The XJ's green-house and mirrors have a really good design. With the mirrors adjusted properly, there is no blind spot on the passenger side(any car you can't see in the mirror, you can view directly when turning your head far enough to look in the passenger mirror) and only a very small sliver of the road you can't see on the driver's side.
The TJ is a wake-up call. Talk about blind spots! The mirrors are a joke, even with 2" convex blind-spot mirrors on them. To help out, the combination of door, door/top seal frame, roll bar, and side curtain fabric cover the area you need to look to clear the blind spot. 'Almost impossible to safely change lanes without being a contortionist.
I don't know why all the states have a cow when you pull the doors off a TJ. Hell, getting that mess out of the way would make it safer to drive, even with the lack of mirrors.
