I remember once upon a time, seeing a thread from someone (I think on LOST) that took RAM 2500 tow miirrors and grafted them on. I can't find the article, so I don't know what year(s) were appropriate. I also remember there being some electrical issues (directions didn't match) but I'd be able to sort that out eventually.
Problem is, that's a pretty hefty investment to make, and i'm not sure I can make work without a bunch of work.
these add-ons I ordered, i'm 99% confident I can make work well enough for a 1000 mile trip back from GA with a trailer.
I don't/won't need them

To clarify in the guy's defense: He gave into the urge to drive over stuff we all get.Sweeeet. But why no Bronco Raptor High Package?
Note: Dude on campus has one...was very hard to keep a straight face pulling him out of a big plow pile last week after the blizzard...
The marque survived the travesty that was Mustang II - but this might be a step too far.I refuse to call it a Mustang - Mustangs have loud V8’s and manual transmission’s
More despair and disbelief than a Ford Prefect?The marque survived the travesty that was Mustang II - but this might be a step too far.
There are a couple in the SE London suburb I'm holed up in during the week. There was a time when a Mustang round those parts would turn heads, now people just shake their heads (whether that in despair or just disbelief is difficult to tell)
Surprised you picked on the Prefect 'cos (apart from the fact I thought we only sent you Anglias & vans) it was quite advanced in its day - if you overlook the pre-war flathead & 3-speed they all inherited from the previous model. It served its purpose and despair would be reserved for those who pedaled them up 25% hills. Of course now they are less often than Mustangs, in any of its iterations, so, disbelief possibly (although that should be reserved for the weird & wonderful Consul Classic). Fortunately, English Ford name plates don't tend to be stuck on later, inappropriate, models. Escort being the obvious exception - although Mercury stole back "Zephyr" after Dagenham borrowed it from Lincoln &, for some reason, "you" decided that "Granada" would look good on something completely different & dragged it out of the '70's were it belonged.More despair and disbelief than a Ford Prefect?
Yeah...thank Douglas Adams for the Prefect joke. Most on this side of the pond never got the joke. I never understood the design, particularly when the Prefect is like the only car more underpowered that the VW 1200cc flat fours of the slightly later era.Surprised you picked on the Prefect 'cos (apart from the fact I thought we only sent you Anglias & vans) it was quite advanced in its day - if you overlook the pre-war flathead & 3-speed they all inherited from the previous model.

DIY Garage is a great franchise. I miss military base auto hobby though. Free!Looking forward to a day at the DIY garage tomorrow. I will be sure to report back on how things go with the Jeep. Praying for no seized bolts.
This is my second time renting a space like this to do vehicle work in the winter, and I hope it works out as well as the first time. (The first time I built the interior to my camping trailer.)
I have a bunch of shirts like that. They weren't skin tight when I bought them, but...And dudes with skin tight T-shirts with the sleeves rolled up.
