Mirrors

[mancheflo]

Has anyone ever put these kind of Mirrors on instead of the little black ones 

[Eagle]

Those are intended for larger trucks. To mount those with the mirror head at the right height, you'd be mounting almost to the bottom of the door. They're 27-1/2 inches high -- that's 2 feet 3-1/2 inches. Take a tape measure out to your truck and lay that out on the door.

 

There's a more compact version that would be more suitable for an MJ, if you like that style of mirror.

This is closer to what the factory tow mirror option was:

Is there any out there that kind of style would work? Like some from an early 90s f150

I edited my post while you were typing. See above.

Exactly what I was looking for thanks!

These were optional on MJs and XJs.

Be advised that MJs and XJs with the factory tow mirrors had a reinforcing plate inside the door to beef up the skin. If you're going to install any mirror of this general type, it would probably be a good idea to back up the upper and lower mounting points with some heavy-gauge sheet metal.

And if were to get them what would I put in place where that corner is where the mirror currently mounts

Heh, heh ...

 

I was going to ask you that.

I think yellaheep had some mirror delete panels posted in his Colorado stuff at the for sale board... That is if eagle hadn't already pm'd you ;¶

Nice truck, Horn. But it looks like a Renix

Sure is a nice truck Tim. That's why I used your pic.

Not a problem.

[Eagle]

The early base (SporTruck) models didn't have the dual mirrors mounted at the vent window corners, and the trucks with tow mirros (such as Tim's truck in the photo Hornbrod posted) also didn't have them. This was also true for XJs with the tow mirror option. So check junkyards.

 

This might be a good project for someone with a 3-D printer. It's a small, fairly simple part. Who here has a 3-D printer and scanner setup, or access to them?

In addition to checking with Yellaheep, check with SaveevryJp on here, he has ton's of parts and may have the mirror delete piece.
