Towing Mirrors

[96twodoorTahoe]

I'm thinking about doing towing mirrors on my truck, saw one on here I think that had them that looked pretty sweet. I found them on Ebay for about $175, I'm just wondering, do the bolt right up to where your mirrors attach now, or is there some fabrication involved, and how durable they are?

From what I have seen the are bolt on and use a sturdy mounting bracket that gets rid of the mirror shake. I am looking at doing the same but want to use 03-07 silverado heated tow mirrors with turns signal in the mirror like these below. Still looking to see how they would fit but they look almost the same

I don't do alot of towing, but I do tow a 12' enclosed trailer for my band, and the mirrors seem like they would make a hell of difference, and they make your truck look more wider/beefier.

There is a company that makes gmt800 replica mirrors with gmt400 bases on ebay. They are good quality and bolt-on. They are know for a slight vibration in the mirror due to the small mounting bases on the truck that original weren't designed for such a heavy mirror.

Those will not fit your truck. Your going to have to search google on how to make them fit. It's been done, but it's not easy.

They are LARGE mirrors that is for sure. They make backing my 21' boat a breeze. Towing the camper a breeze love them ill have them on all my tow vehicles for now on.

I love mine and have a tutorial for the 94- but same for the 95-98 and yes they bolt on like normal mirros. I like using them when hauling with my 16ft

Theres a plate that gets added so it doesnt vibrate and they are very durable

Where you get the plate from? Do you fad one and if so how hard is it to do?

Yeah, I ended up finding these on Ebay, it comes with the brace and are not to pricey.
