OMG, there is some funny posts in this thread allready .

I definitely like the function of them when they are flipped out. There is much better visibility. However, I think that it looks gay, unless it is a lifted truck (a little more than my truck would be nice) or if it is a drw.

I personally think that the mirrors up look nice on my truck. With the Ranch hand and the 35s... It kinda fits It will return back sooner or later!

Last time I ran with em up, I went thru a drivethru pharmacy to pick up something for the DW and got a little close to the wall.
Now have small gouges on the mirrors.

I agree with buzzy. They look retarded folded out when not pulling a wide trailer. They do offer alot more visibility, thats why they are there. I see that alot around here, most of the people with those mirrors have them folded out. I am sure it kills fuel economy even more when they are folded out. If you dont worry about fuel economy or looking stupid, than I say unfold them. Personally, I would listen to the GF.

mine are always folded out, I can see better that way. I wouldn't say they look gay, compared to the little half ton mirrors that they put on HD trucks- Gay.

Mine are always out. Better visibility by far. I don't think I would though if it wasn't as tall as it is. I think they look goofy ona short truck.

More wind drag with them up and the trucks about 2 inches wider at the mirrows, but it up to you.
yeah we all know how the cummins strains at any additional resitance...

main thing is what herb said with the parking

and what the hell is the woman doing driving the truck, how the hell are you supposed to get road head that way??? WTF?
