My vote was a pic of my SD with the hood up and in the shop and write, "SHHH.. It's a Super Duty in it's natural environment.".. LOL. That's where mine seems to be liking to spend it's time anyways.

Honestly, I'm not all that sure I like these big mirrors. I was just giving Tyler a hard time because the mirrors are the only thing different between our two trucks (well, that and his bumper). I was really fine with the power nemo mirrors on my old truck and I can see where the hoop mirrors would be a nice compromise. These things are nice for towing though! They're just BIG!

The SD pic would be funny though!

Cool

That's how I do my tow mirrors too. Fold em in when I don't need em. Im one of those guys who take unnecessary risk, like get as close as I can to stuff, so I was always afraid I was going to rip one off if they were out.

A few days after starting to drive my dually, I cut a turn pretty short at work, and slowly rubbed my "hip" against the bumper of a UPS truck lol. Didn't do anything but I was too ignorant to back up and try again lol

Iv noticed most Cummins guys drive with their tow mirrors out. I don't see the problem!

I love the big mirrors. I know they don't look the greatest, but a guy can see for says when he's towing, which is nice. Plus it's what came on my truck. Besides, I've always been more of a function over form kinda guy!

In all honesty, I wish my truck had BIGGER mirrors lol. Those tow mirrors are super nice hwne towing something wider than your truck, but theyre not tall enough to see the top of my camper, and along the road too. Maybe someone should invent a convex mirror for the outside mirrors lol
