I have a set of mirrors from 91 Explorer that I'm going to use on my 88.

I seem to remember on "Trucks" back when Stacy was doing it, he installed a superdome and a few months past that he said that it too had blown out at highway speeds

That could be one reason why they don't make superdomes anymore !?!, I know that shortly after Stacy did that one, and then came back a few months after and said what happen, I never seen the superdome advertisements anymore.


Well Good luck, you might what to see about doing some other type of hold down on it.

Alright...heres a pic of it with one of the mirrors somewhat mounted on there, still needs a little more work, and I need to paint them obviously.

They attach just like the chrome outer trim, they clip in on the bottom, and two phillips screws hold it in on the top.

For those of you that want to sandblast a small area, and NOT fill the interior with sand.....
Use a "spot sander" ( The type that look like a paint gun, with adapters that fit unusual areas like corners, crevices, and curves) northern tool (princess auto) carries them for about 20 bucks
