    What did you do with the old mirrors? Can you post a better picture of them? They look like they extend outward for towing. Might be interested in buying them

    That's the way to do it! Where I camp, having a cooler full of meat is just asking for bears!

    They are 2015 mirrors. If you look through my build, I made a write up on how to wire them.

    Had a blast this weekend camping, offroading and just enjoying beautiful Southern California. First time offroad in my truck, found out my limitations, but overall handled very well and I was surprised at how capable it is stock.

    First campspot, shocked there was snow on the ground.

    View from the first campsite.

    The crew that I went with. (All Black Toyotas)
    IMG_2971_zpsvrnydmhj_dfd0069517b725efcea99b80219669e321028168.jpg

    Thought I'd see how much flex I can achieve stock, pretty impressed.

    The breath taking view from this campspot.

    Waking up to this view would never get old.

    The group again, we all had a great time. I can't wait until next time.

    Well I bought a lift but have yet to install it due to insufficient time and funds for new tires. Hope to have it all installed soon though.

    It's a little stiff but you can tell they are strong as hell overall I like it. how much are those coils ? Those might make it a little softer then stock coils not sure though
