looks great man, they are a good all around mod with looks and functionality. As long as you dont drive around with em up lol

I like the grille. Ive been looking around but they only really sell the vertical (navigator style) ones for 06-08 that are not ridiculously expensive

I've owned seven full size trucks, all 4x4s and pulled a bass boat almost every weekend from 1991-2004. Never gave tow mirrors a thought and my current truck is the first one that came with them on.
I will never again own a truck without tow mirrors, whether it comes with them or I have to add them...

After i put them on i went to dinner and had to ride with them up just for the hell of it. And as far as i know they dont make the grille for 06-08 models yet.

Even without towing anything the added visibility that you get with the tow mirrors sure makes maneuvering a large truck, like say into a parking spot, so much easier.

Full size trucks shouldn't come with anything but tow mirrors.

Thanks! I was kind of figured that but had to ask. Think I might try the repro's from AM I just hope the motors in them last for awhile and they are not to cheaply made.

Nice truck!!!

The only piece of advice I can give with the aftermarket vs. OEM mirrors is if you need to use the heat.

At work we've ripped the mirror off our '05 3500 twice now. Two different aftermarket brands have been put on to replace and neither one compares to the OEM for the heat. In snow storms the OEM will be clear and the aftermarket is usually only half clear.

Other than that we've had no issues with the aftermarkets. I just know I wont run them on my truck with that experience.
