The ones that I'm ordering are heated, electrically adjustable and have turn signal indicator in them.
Here's an image where I added the dimensions... it's the non-blinker version.
The other photos are of the blinker version I'm ordering.
So we'll see how this goes.

First I flipped, then I flopped...
I've decided that I'm going to take the motorcycle mirrors to a "fasten all" store, and see if they have any any stainless steel rivet nuts that will fit the mirrors that I bought. I think I was on a good path with the approach, and I shouldn't let the thread mis-match derail me so easily.
I can also go to a home depot or other store... maybe even fastenall to confirm the size and thread pitch that the mirrors have, that way I can be sure to get the correct rivet nut based on the specs.
Oh... one last idea... for the mirrors I purchased, I'll post a question asking for the size and threads for the studs that come with the mirror.... maybe I'll get a responsive answer.
That's the update for today... because I like the idea of the easily removable extended mirror... I think I was headed in the right direction.
Those Ram pickup truck mirrors seem awesome, but they'll also permanently change the look of my 4Runner, and I think I'd prefer a stock look.
