The second set you've mounted look much less....retarded.
Telling you the truth since I don't want you to look like a dumbass but those wide ass ones you first mounted look like shit. The second set that were more dodgeish(?) look worlds nicer.

Well to tell you the truth I've only mounted one set.....they pivot up so you can see around your trailer. The dodgeish ones are in both pictures up and down.

I do appreciate you don't want me to look like a dumbass though.

Ohhh!!! They flip up to be tow mirrors? Neat...

No problem! I like to look out for other people no matter where they are!

Awesome mod! Personally, I don't have enough man skills to take on such a challenge. I went the cheap and easy route and purchased a pair of "Tow-N-See" mirrors. Totally awesome set of mirrors that just mount via suction to the existing mirrors. You use your power mirrors to adjust and bingo! Again, awesome MOD!

Vibration was minimal at best; I was completely impressed with the tow-n-see's. I figured they were going to be disposable for the money but ended up being worth every penny.

tow mirrors

I have been on the lookout for a decent set of tow mirrors also. After reading your mod I wondered if these tundra mirrors would be an easier conversion/better fit? Yours look and function great but I'm looking for a little less r & d and a little more bolt on Anyone?

just stumbled on this thread.... Awesome idea and ingenuity! I tow A LOT and some wider mirrors would definately be welcomed at times when towing enclosed trailers and such. I'd actually be somewhat tempted to try this in the future so thanks for the writeup!
Oh, and 'Hi' from a local. I drive through Grants pass all the time.
