towing mirrors

G'day Cruiser, at around $800 a set these may be the ducks guts,
but hardly the only way to go...:)))).
At less than $80, my ebay jobbies are quite effective...I can
travel over 3000Km on the difference in price...
...Theresa's choice, of course.....cheers....oldbaz.

$745.00 when I got them before Xmas just gone. Worth every penny.

Paid $550 for our Clearview mirrors for our LC200 - wouldn't have anything else.

Had aussie truck mirrors on my troopcarrier and now on the ranger for 10 years +. They are are good fit on a cruiser door.

I just put some strips of magnetic sign material behind the straps making sure the door is clean first. They have never marked a door or had any problems.

Hi R.A.,

I had a set of the Aussie truck mirrors but upgraded to the Clearview because on the 100 series the gap between the window, rubber and the door metal is less than on the 80 series and there is not enough room for the 2 lugs to fit in there without doing damage to the window glass.

I now have a couple of scratches on my drivers side window due to that.

A mate overcame this by cutting the window rubber away to make room for the lugs.

That is not an option I would accept so I coughed up for the clearviews.

Otherwise they are a brilliant mirror but are not suited to every vehicle.

Cheers, Bruce.

hi Theresa,

Clearview are on my wishlist too but in the meantime I have truck mirrors which I've had for 7 or 8 years. They seem to be regarded as the best bet by most (other than clearviews) and I too, have cut a small slit in the rubber deal for the mirror lug to poke through, which protects the window. Works well. I did try a few other types before the truck mirrors but reckon they are best - after the clearviews.

Just get a set of suction Camec's for $20.00 each, they work great, I have been using mine for over twelve months and never any sign of them blowing off. I believe they are rated up to speeds of 180kph.

Cheers
Merv

Hi Theresa P,

To answer your specific question, if there is sufficient room for the 2 lugs which fit between the glass and the rubber on the door, when the rubber is pulled back, then no, it will not interfere with the electric windows operation.



Cheers, Bruce.

I went the 4x4 clip on mirrors from above site,
fit easy on a 76 series
