What did you have to do to the bumper to get it to bolt up?

I like the mirrors rus, only kick is they dont flow quite as well with the body style being square and the 97-03 cab is slightly contoured at top. But look less dumbo ear like than mine do.



Thanks for the pictures rus!
How do the feel? do they move a lot at speed (glass vibration), do they have a stout frame?

it's a Lakeland tonneau cover with a Yakima MegaWarrior basket with the extension. It is bolted to the tonneau with bolts that go from underneath the cover, through brackets and attach to brackets on the top of the tonneau cover. Its very strong and sturdy. We usually attach 5 or 6 bikes to it when we go camping.

Theres a ebay seller, who is selling them listing them for ford F150's as well. I contacted them, they said its a direct bolt on, so I'm assuming he is making his own mount for them.

the dodge ones being the ones that dont fold in? And also to be a tow mirror you have to rotate the mirror head upright? No ty.
