Tow mirrors for OBS'S?

Curtis@Vision Diesel · Dec 17, 2011

Just wondering if any of you guys have some different tow mirrors on...such as a conversion to 99 and newer on an OBS? I've seen dodge mirrors on an OBS and I just don't think they fit very well.

i think the SD mirrors look terriable but thats me. saw a guy take the chevy mirrors and bolt them through the orginal small mirror bracket. but it didnt look right either. but thats my opinion

Curtis@Vision Diesel · Dec 18, 2011

Yea, I was just wondering if anyone had some pictures of what they would look like and what not.
Appreciate your opinion though.

IIRC there was a obs with a utility body with 08 mirrors that i didnt think looked bad at all.

Cool, thanks!

Looks good from the front, but you can't see from it the side How they did it make all the difference in the world.

I don't like far the base of the mirror sticks out it needs to be closer.

Hmm looks ok from the side, but I agree with you on the vent window, I love mine too.

Chevy is out of the question. I like nothing about chevy. And the dodge mirrors....some of them are pretty clean looking install, but I just don't think they fit very well.

That truck is awesome, I added that guy on facebook just so I could see those mirrors, and they look just as good from the side as they do from the front, you could fool someone and say they were stock.

And I know we bash the Dodge guys for keeping them flipped up all the time, but you can see a lot better with them flipped up.

For a while I think it was weareweird69 who was trying to integrate other mirrors to look good when attached to an obs.

97BambiBasherPSD · Dec 18, 2011

i had the little nemo mirrors on mine when i first got it and wanted the 4 point tow mirrors. to put them on the two upper mounts use the same holes that are there so no drilling there. the lower two mounts are the only ones that need drilling. i did them at home and it was super easy

Curtis@Vision Diesel · Dec 18, 2011

I got the 4 point tow mirrors now. I don't mind em, just was looking possibly for something outside the box and seeing the different options.
My dad has a dodge and I love how you can see with that style of mirror. I just don't think they fit on an OBS. That's just my opinion though.
Just curious to what other people had and what not.
