,,,, and hence why I'll be replacing my AT2s with MS2s when the time comes. My previous '07 truck had them when I unloaded it to get into my '16.

Those of you wondering, the Ford part number for this mirror is DC3Z-17682-BA should you happen to be curious about the price. Great way to start off 2018.


Ouch.... That's a automatic warranty denial right there.

My AT2s only have 6000 or so miles on them but the dealership is replacing them at no charge do to four bad tires. Now I have to decide if I want them to put on AT2s or ms2s, for a year round tire.

I had the MS2’s on my 01 and did a lot of Sierra trips with it several 6-12” snowfalls and never had any trouble. I did a few trips with the AT2’s and felt the MS were better in the snow.

Ive spent a few hours pounding steel. In my mind i guess im playing out forged in fire. In reality its comming slowly. Starting to wonder why i didnt just cut it out and replace the metal but they would be to easy and apparently i like a challenge

Garage talk generally crashes when I upload pics so I broke it up into a second post. With a bit more movement and some fill welds i might get it acceptable for paint

Sold my stock Michelin tires for $750.00. Picked up some take off 2017 wheels and tires for $600.00.( got lucky on Craigslist) About a hundred miles on them. Now just need to buy tires for my empty wheels so I can have my winter and summer sets. Here is some pics of the take offs that I picked up.Name: IMG_20180126_142125697.jpg Views: 416 Size: 3.96 MBName: IMG_20180126_155834253.jpg Views: 411 Size: 3.84 MB

i dont know its something my wife bought me for Christmas. There was no name brand on the box and she didnt remember. The color is nice but because of the sun roof they didnt sit very flush with the roof so there is allot of silicone under them.
