What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

[Curious Hound]

Now if I could do something about those the side mirrors, has anyone used tinting on them, successfully?

There are auto dimming side mirrors. I don't know what donor vehicles would work. The rearview mirror i used in one of my trucks had an output signal to control side mirrors. So the wiring wouldn’t be difficult.

Has anyone ever found a set of side mirrors that shoot curare darts? Seems much more of a useful feature than auto dimming.

Forget the darts, I need something like this for my Ranger.

Here ya go...

Auto darkening mirrors! I do need a set of those...got some info please?..

I just installed a bed cap. No need for a mirror dimmer then. Manual or otherwise. The tint on the cap's rear hatch takes care of that for you.

Do this: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15131074/how-to-adjust-your-mirrors-to-avoid-blind-spots/

This will eliminate the majority of the glare from the side mirrors and it will eliminate blind spots in the process.

Those of us who back up using our mirrors, though, will find that difficult. It's necessary to see the corners of your own vehicle.

Don’t tell me how to adjust my mirrors... I don’t even need to adjust them, they’re bigger then a Honda Civic:

My topper doesn’t have tint like a newer oneand the topper isn’t always on it.

It started out if the mirror has it I might as well make it work. And then it ended up since I have it wired up I might as well get a mirror that works. They are $4 from the yard so not a big expense.

I just have the stock western low mount breakaway side mirrors, thy don’t dim or really do much of anything on their own.

A mirror that big will CAUSE blind spots to the front left corner.

They actually rotate to a horizontal position and become "wings, like an airfoil, creating lift",,,,,takes sprung weight off vehicle, making it "lighter" and saving gas....

 

[pjtoledo]

well heck, if they rotate horizontal make 'em flap

If you make em flap, might end up taking off...that could end up requiring a pilot's license.
Many people out there can barely drive...think of what would happen if they could now fly !!!
