G'day solo20,
Half way done this page is a few different types of Mirrors. Maybe some thing here that you can use or get ideas from.

I've tried a heap of them and the only one I found worthy are the Aussie Mirrors. Make sure they fit properly first but I doubt if there would be an issue.

A little dearer, but well worth it

These are the ones referred to above.

This is the one I use on my Prado and it does the job admirably.

Thanks for your input, will do some checking.

Cheers

Hi solo20
I have a 2000 troopy and I have put genuine Toyota ute mirrors on.They have a wider mirror, 9 inches and are a much heavier constructed product .This is reflected in the price.
They measure outside to outside 2.3 metres when installed. Only had them on the car a few months and I am just making a small extension piece for them to move the mirror out when towing. Will post some photos when I have finished.
cheers Brian

Hi. I have tried many commercial type towing mirrors and have found that none are very satisfactory, so I made my own. They camp on my roo bar and are very stable. The mirrors are slightly convex and this counteracts any vibration that is set up. I also have a rear view camera.

One of my mates went to the wreckers and purchased a complete set of electric mirrors and the wiring and control switch off a wrecked car.
He wired it all up with a connector plug just by the grille, and when he goes towing, he just clamps the mirrors and extensions on his bullbar, plugs the control in and away he goes.
They are normal car mirrors, and he can adjust the mirrors from inside the car for when he is parking.
It's a great setup in my opinion.
Not sure of the cost altogether, but certainly worth a few hours of mucking around in the shed.

I have mirrors on my bull bar and they are not worth a crumpet. The 100 Series bull bar vibrates so much, they are useless.

But, I keep them on there to make me legal when towing my van.

Hi All,

Thanks for the input. Brian, did you have to drill holes in the door for the ute mirrors? Any one who has mirrors on the bull bar, how wide do they extend past the outside line of the vehicle??

Thanks everyone.
