HERE I GO, TALKING TO MYSELF AGAIN!
Update:
The ordered parts came. The threads don't match. I have a tap and dye set that I haven't used yet. Maybe I can rethread the mirrors so that the fit the well nus that I bought.
I wanted to be able to "Really see"... so a bought a pair of super-duper, call me the MAC Daddy, pimp my ride Tundra mirrors, thinking I could adapt them and install them.
Wow! These things are HUGE! No way. They would look ABSURD!
I might look briefly to see if I can set it up so that by popping off a cover, and undoing 3 nuts per mirror, maybe I can put on these monstrosities before a big tow... not sure.... but they are heavy and HUGE so I think it's best to return them.
Too bad. They had blinkers on them, they were heated, they had a big adjustable mirror and a convex mirror too, and you could extend them a few more inches for towing.
unfortunately, I didn't appreciate how truly massive they were until they arrived. Oh well, C'est la Vie.
So... just a thought... this could be slick....
get two wireless back up cameras, mount them on the boat using inserts adapted to fit in the rod holders. Wire 'em up to the trailer, and view them from the comfort of the driver's seat. Not sure.. still more to do.
