New mirrors for the truck!

[dixie_boysles]

Well after 6 months of ownership, Im finally tired of the Towing mirrors. I have a love/hate relationship with them. Love the looks and visibility of them but HATE parking with them at work and people about taking them off going down the road.

I park between two support poles at work and each and every morning, I have to roll window down, pull mirror in, then finish backing up. Aggravating!

mine is the white truck. see all the stupid poles....

So I worked out a deal with a moderator on here (kozal01) and he is bought my towing mirrors and I bought with that money these mirrors:

I know chrome dont get you home, but it ties all the chrome together on my truck (step rails, LT Handles, and grill surround).

Im losing my puddle light capability on the towing mirrors, SOOOOO i ordered two of these off of ebay to compensate. I was going to mod them onto the bottom of the mirrors, BUT decided to put them on the bottom of my step rail instead :D

and here is the link for them if anyone is interested, not bad for $6 per light.

Those are low-powered LEDs with a diffusion-style lens, meant probably for clearance lighting- they are not going to light up the ground worth a darn.

i cant find a better alternative though. I want a grommet style or flushmount light.

New mirrors are ON! Love the new look! I miss the visibility of the tow mirrors but I didnt have to do anything to pull in my parking space at work this morning!!!! The truck looks a little more balanced too as the towing mirrors were kinda gaudy on the truck.

The front little clear reflector is actually LED turn signals as well. I thought it was just a reflector when I bought them like OEM ones and I was gonna paint it black, but since its also a turn signal, Ill leave it alone :) Very happy with the new look

Another accidental de-mod was my front vanity plate. Wife backed up into the front of my truck the other day and messed the plate up (didnt hurt anything else), but now we are gonna have to get her car a new rear bumper and a dent pulled from her trunk lid FTL... But I like the new look with no front plate!

Wow. Looks good bro.

Very nice. I know a lot of people are pining for towing mirrors. Throw a good price on them and make your money back

This thread got me motivated. I took off the caps on my mirrors (chrome) and stripped them down to the plastic and PTMing them. I'll start my own thread to avoid a hijack. lol
