Hi Ranger5g,

Ever since I bought my Ranger, I’ve been trying to find a solution for towing mirrors that worked well and didn’t look like crap. Soooooo, I went and bought a 3d printer and decided to create my own. Still working on a couple things but they fit snugly and attach with Velcro straps and a friction fit to the mirror. Strong enough that they won’t wobble , move or flex.

I’m using these for a 7 foot wide trailer but imagine I could tweak the design to get a couple more inches of extension.

What do you guys think?
These would be perfect for my small travel trailer. Did you make an extra set?

Nice, but I'll stick with my Clearview extendables. Bigger mirror more visibility.
