Bushranger wide-angle safety lens

Bradley,

Jill????

I would have a problem fitting one to the small window of Jack, 'cause that's where the ExplorOz sticker is.

Must say, it's worth investigating though. Could negate the alternative of a $400 Video system.

Bradley, how does it go for normal driving (ie. forward on roads) and the visual clarity through the rear vision mirror?

I looked at these but didn't put one on as I thought that the compromise of what is behind you in 99.9% of drive time was might be too much. When I drive, I really like to know whats behind me and how far, and that mirror (in conjunction with wings) can be used to judge if it is safe to change lanes, etc, usual stuff. Not seeing depth, eg, might make it dangerous.

Thoughts?

Thanks for asking the rear visibility question - I have the same concern.

Mind you I'm also concerned about backing over/into something!

I think it would be like putting a blindspot (convex) mirror on your side mirrors. You would hate it at first, but would get used to it, adn the distances.

I think I'd hate it, other option is one of those mirrors you see on grey imports that hang down off the roof behind the car

YMMV

Yeah, seen those mirrors on a couple driving around. Might be interested if I can get one that connects to the barn door without actually screwing into the panel itself, but yet to find one. I think the tailgate slamming would quickly knock it off line anyway.

Yea it may knock it off line, but depends how its mounted, but the greys have it and havent heard of any issues

Jill as in Jillaroo,

I dont even notice it during normal driving as it sits at the bottom edge of the small window and i only use it when reversing and parking, it doesnt affect my rearward vision at all when driving.

2 thumbs up.
