New Bestop Mirrors

My new mirrors came and and I thought I would give a first impression. I got the Bestop heated/ electric for my 99. The box these things came in was HUGE and they were well packaged. Install was easy and very straight forward. 1 screw and 3 nuts each side. Wiring was all plug and play. They look identical to the CIPA mirrors some places are selling.

I put pics in my readers rides page under Vic's 99.

They are easily double the mirror surface of the original mirrors. Much bigger then the Powervisions I have on my 97 too.

Am heading out tomorrow on a little 750 mile trip, so next week I'll let you know how they did on the highway. Even without extending them they seem plenty wide enough for my slide-in. AT first I thought they were going to look goofy on the truck because they were so big, but now that I look at them, I think the original mirrors were a little out of proportion being so small.
