You might not want to post your full VIN on the forums.

But CONGRATS! That's huge.
If you can figure out how to hack that VIN and add back all the "decontented" stuff, I'd be thrilled! =D

Thanks, we didn't finance that much and as an XL, it was about as inexpensive as you could get it. But it was nice to pay it off a few months early.

Now that payment money can go back to 303 products! =D

I got a big box with 2 mirrors in it yesterday from US ClearView distributor.
Those are really nice mirrors and I'd love some too. Post some install pics - I'd sure like them.

Nice addition to your Ranger - woohoo, you'll clearly be able to see the Tacos you leave in the dust! =D

David....unless you need them for towing a big blocky trailer, pass on them "just to have them". They are big blocky mirrors, but also, its a case of "function over looks". Their great for their purpose, towing, but aesthetically....meh !!!
I always liked the OE mirrors, and for a non-towing Ranger, are just fine. Doubt you would ever use the "extension" for everyday use.

Yeah, but you probably know me, I like the function over fashion stuff. That FJ40 will always be my baseline. - talk about austere!

Who needs floor mats when you have floor holes for hosing the thing out! =D

Certainly will offer some protection and at a reasonable price.

After driving over tree branches and hearing the scraping... Figured $40 is a steel.

That is the reason, the local SCCA club's solo trailer that stays at my house and I pull around is a bit over 6,000lb enclosed trailer. I also rent travel trailers for trips with the family and have those suction cup mirrors, but I'm not a fan of them too small to really see without bobbing my head around to see more angle through it. Seeing as I can add the heated, turn signal, power fold and puddle lamps while at it I decided to go that route. I 100% prefer the looks of the OE mirrors, and if I could have found mirrors that looked OE, but with extending mount like these I would have gotten them. I'm not fond of the idea that the drivers side mirror is convex like the passenger side either. Perhaps ClearView will release a flat driver's side replacement glass if there is enough demand for it. But this is function over form setup for how I use the truck.

Soupie's walkin' papers came tonight—free from the man! =)

lol it's late and my eyes are very tired and even I can see right though it! :inspect:
? Now that I thought about it does it really matter if his address is showing? I mean we all know he lives in Portsmouth, NH and is at the dump more times a week than he changes his underwear (that's 2 times :surprised:) anyone could find him by just sitting at the dump entrance and following him home. :facepalm::oops:?

Christmas present arrived for the Ranger today.

The leather cleaner and conditioner/restorer really work great. I've been using these on our leather furniture for years now and it really cleans them up nicely. But what did you expect, they're made by Gold Eagle which makes 303 products! :giggle:?
