How do you adjust them?

 

I'd imagine you could easily score a pair from a part out.

 

they are adjusted similar to spot light on police vehicles.

 

I just bought that winch but haven't installed yet!

 

rating seems good

 

Yeah ALOT of guys on here run these smittybilt winches and they are pleased with them!

 

Say wha?

They have an adjustment knob on the sail panel or something?

 

Never had a vehicle with manual mirrors?

 

They arent power but I need mirrors on my truck hahah

^thats what id look for unless yours are power and want to keep that.

 

well I want to do some maintenance stuff first... Cv's, steering rack, new valve cover gaskets. Probably gonna do the deck plate mod too. Then want to put a rack and rtt. But the list go on and on lol...armor, new seats.....etc

 

power everything but Toyota couldn't do power mirrors. key ring illuminates green when door is open but there is a ring mod going on in here that looks like there a lot of tacomas don't have it. weird

 

Man that knob is nifty, on the manual mirrors I've had in the past you had to push the mirror itself.

 

Sounds like you have a solid plan! Stoked to watch your build and see where it goes!

 

Speaking of build... do you have one?

 

the keyring light was part of a special package in '99 that gave the glovebox light and something else

 

and the coin thing has a light too though mine is out damn 74 bulbs.

 

There's a little lever in the cab that adjusts the angle of the mirror itself, but the mirror housing does not move.

 

My Tacoma has manual mirrors but the only way to adjust it is to move the assembly that holds the glass.
