Lange Originals Quick Release II Mirrors


Lange Originals makes 2 different types of mirrors in the quick release category.  The first type is called a Mirror – A – Mirror I and this mirror is meant for use with the Wrangler, Rubicon, Unlimited, TJ and YJ.  This particular mirror will allow you to remove the doors from your Jeep yet still remain legal by having a mirror.  Side mirrors on moving vehicles are not just regulated by all 50 states, they are also regulated by the federal government.  This is a simple accessory that will solve the problem of your mirrors disappearing when your doors do. 

Quick Release II Mirrors by Lange Originals

The quick release II is the other mirror in the quick release category that is built by Lange Originals.  This mirror is crafted beautifully and can be installed right to the side of the frame for the windshield of your Wrangler, CJ, TJ or YJ.  Lange Originals made this mirror to be able to install using the existing holes that were installed by the factory.  Removing this mirror is simple too.  All that you need to do to remove it is just twist a knob and it comes right off!  Once you turn that knob and take the mirror off, all that remains in its place is the little bracket that can be utilized for mounting after you put the doors back on your Jeep. 

The Quick Release II is a mirror that has been finished by hand.  It is constructed from aluminum that is graded for use on aircrafts and it also has a few components that are constructed from stainless steel.  This type of construction is what gives the mirror its resistance to corrosion. 

The bend of the arm for this mirror is made to be able to rotate in order to give you the ability to position it as you see fit.  The Quick Release II comes to you with a finish in black that will add style to any Jeep.

Because of the fact that the Quick Release II doesn’t use the hinge of the door, it is able to be used in conjunction with any of the aftermarket soft or half doors.  It is able to be used either on the driver side of the Jeep or the passenger side.  These mirrors are sold as a single unit as opposed to as a pair.

Crank Hoist – A – Top Hardtop Removal System for One Piece Hardtops


You can find Lange Originals in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The family owned business specializes in making and distributing a wide variety of aftermarket parts and accessories for Jeeps and other vehicles.  The Lange family is a true Jeep loving family who has been conquering the Moab for over 30 years.  This gives them a distinct edge in knowing not only what Jeepers need and want but also what will and what hold up under extreme off road driving conditions.

A great example of something that is a necessity for a Jeeper that only a Jeep driver would know about is the Hoist – A – Top.  This is a line of products that will facilitate removing and replacing the Jeep top with ease.

Manual Crank Hoist – A – Top

This is a hoist for one piece hard tops that all Jeep owners would be happy to have.  Removing the top from your Jeep can now be a process that requires only a single person when you use this hoist.  The construction is one that is very rugged and the lifting device itself is chock full of safety features. 

Another great thing about this particular hoist is that there is not a need to do anything to the top of your Jeep in order to use this hoist with it.  This particular hoist even works with Sierra, CJ7 and Wrangler hard tops.  The hoist features hooks that are rubber coated along with hardware that is foam covered.  Knowing this, you can rest assured that the finish on you hard top will not be harmed from using the hoist on it.  The design of the steel cable is one that is highly tensile and as such, this cable should not be confused with any of those flimsy, inexpensive rope and pulley hoists for hard tops that try to compete with this one.

The manual crank Hoist – A – Top made by Lange Originals uses a frame that has been made from steel and as such is incredibly strong.  Attach this frame to your Jeep hard top quickly and easily and then crank the top up to the ceiling.  You do not need to drill anything or make any other sorts of modifications to the top of you Jeep at all.  There is a pulling mechanism for the cable that will pull the top off your Jeep and all the way up to the ceiling in your garage.  You can even safely leave it stored hanging there until you are ready to use it again.

From start to finish, using this manual crank Hoist – A – Top, you can have the one piece hard top off of your Jeep and be ready to roll in less than 3 minutes.

Lange Originals Quick Release Mirrors


Lange makes a couple of different Quick Release Mirrors.  First, there is the Mirror-A-Mirror I that is for the Wrangler Unlimited, Rubicon, YJ and TJ.  With this one you will have the ability to take the doors off of your Jeep and still be legal with a mirror.  Mirrors are not just regulated by the states, they are regulated by Federal law.  With this simple accessory, you will be able to solve your mirror problem.  This mirror is what is known as a quick release or quick mount mirror.  It actually cam locks right to the door hinges.  The Mirror-A-Mirror I has been hand machined as well as hand finished.  It has been constructed from aluminum that is aircraft grade as well as with stainless steel.  What that means to you is that it is incredibly resistant to corrosion.  This is a mirror that has been beautifully made and will be an asset to any Jeep.

Quick Mirror II

This is the other type of quick release or quick mount mirror that is made by Lange Originals.  It is beautifully crafted and is installed right on the side of your windshield frame in your Jeep Wrangler TJ, YJ or CJ and uses the mounting holes that are already there.  This mirror is incredibly easy to remove simply by twisting a knob.  Once the knob is twisted and the mirror has been removed, all that is left in its place is a small bracket to be used for mounting once the doors are replaced. 

This mirror has also been hand machined and then hand finished.  Like the other one, this one is also made from aluminum of an aircraft grade as well as from stainless steel which gives the mirror the best resistance from corrosion.  The arm bend for this mirror rotates which allows you to position the mirror at any position on the windshield.  It comes in a black finish and will add a bit of off road style to your Jeep.

Why would someone want to get a power hoist upgrade when they have a manual Hoist – A – Top?  That is an incredibly easy question to answer.  Why would you want to stand there and crank away at the manual hoist when you can get the same job done in half the time and without having to do anything more energetic than pushing a button?

This upgrade will turn your hand powered crank system into one that is powered by electricity and that effectively takes all of the work out of the process for you.  This power upgrade has a construction that is rugged as well as a very powerful lifting device that is packed full of safety features.  The power option upgrade comes to you complete with a remote control, highly detailed instructions with several options for mounting, a bracket for mounting and a winch.  Please note that this must be used in conjunction with your existing manual Hoist – A – Top.

Wall Mounted Jeep Door Hanger by Lange Originals


There are times in the life of every Jeeper when the doors just have to go.  You have to be free, feel the wind in your hair and have more visibility for when you are on the trails.  The question is – what do you do with your doors when you take them off of your Jeep? 

Yes, you can lay them on the floor in your garage on carport but they will take up that much needed space and collect much dirt, dust and debris.  They can also become scratched which is a definite no-no.  What if you lay them in the yard?  That is also a possibility, but it has the same disadvantages. 

Maybe you don’t have the space for any of that though.  If that is the case then you really are in need of a pair of door hangers that will hold your Jeep doors on the wall and out of the way, free from damage.  Lange Originals makes these wall mounted Jeep full steel door hangers to be mounted to any one of your walls that has studs in it – which is to say any wall at all.  Simply hang the doors with their inside panels facing each other while making sure that the windows are rolled down.  You can either bend the mirrors into a retracted position or leave them fully open. 

The wall mounted Jeep door hanger that is made by Lange Originals is made for any Jeep with the full steel doors.  These hangers mount easily onto the studs in your garage walls and they come with all of the necessary hardware for installation as well as complete and detailed installation instructions.  They hold a single pair of doors.
