New mirrors

i bought a couple of 08 mirrors from eBay, 120 bucks. I installed them today and they look great, I only had to trim a little tan that was getting on the way. I also got new clips for both front doors to secure them and change the lights to led. Also replace the driver side switch cover that was broken and a new mirror switch. Very happy with the look!

mirrors came with an adapter, but my 2002 had the gray plug instead of the black round one

i also got in the mail my new tórx set so tomorrow I’ll change more trim*



Tab I had to trim

Nice. That's an upcoming project for me. Are they heated/power fold?

Truck looks great.

What did you originally have, the little paddle mirrors or the factory tow mirrors? How would you say your rear view has improved from what you had?

I had this ones, but one of them wasn’t working (that i find out that was disconnected) and mirror was rattling, the other one had a crack and didn’t move down so, both were damage.

i think visibility has improved like 465% percent. Convex mirror is larger, and the normal one is bigger. Definitely one great mod

I was hoping you were coming from the factory tow mirrors, because I always wondered what the difference between those and the new style. I already know that going from the little paddles to even the ones you took off is a huge improvement, I couldn't imagine going from paddles straight to the new style. It would be like opening up a whole new world behind you.

It’s a huge difference in useability, especially the convex mirror.
