Mirror retrofit
'Just Sayin', I love my Ex and want to upgrade a few things that have come out recently that would make it that much better. I an interested in the power folding mirrors on the new trucks and the shape of the doors looks to be the same. Could I swap out the OEM mirrors with newer power folding mirrors? I know there would be some electrical mods needed. Has anyone done it? Are there any kits available?

Several people, including myself have done it. I think I have $750 in mine (which is CHEAP!) including used mirrors, switches, building harness and me doing the work. Plan on it costing $1000 if you do all the work, I got lucky finding the mirrors cheap.
No kits available....I made one complete kit for these older trucks...put it on ebay... and a guy with a 2012 truck bought it...go figure
Here's mine in action....

More Turbo
My mechanic and I recently put the 08+ style tow mirror on the 02 X. On a budget skipped the power fold and telescope feature.
Had to add a running light wire. Some of the wires were the same color easy wiring and some were different. Did a lot of research and couldn't find any exact wiring diagrams.
The big 08 mirrors look great on the excursions

I'm pretty sure you'll have to add several wires to make everything work. I dont think the 2000's came with turn signals/side markers or heat. I could be wrong.

I don't have any diagrams...just a bunch of hand written notes and a 2012 mirror connector pinout from when I did mine. Basically, I had to find out what each of my old mirror wires were for....then build a harness to add 4 wires to each door for power fold/telescope.
