Default Christmas trail shots

The gf and I went to stay with her brother at his cabin a couple days during Christmas break, and we went through a bunch of trails one day. Took come pretty cool shots figured I'd share with you guys.

Thinking about getting towing mirrors. Can any of you guys who do have them give me input on how you like them??

Before:




After:









I will post the rest tomorrow in my album if anyone is interested in checking them out.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Thanks Nick!

Its a Frontier Guard

The entire thing is welded besides the brackets that mount to the truck. It also lets you keep the 4x4 hooks which is what sold me on it.

Tow mirrors are 100% worth it...There are zero blind spots with them. No need to look over your shoulder.

x2, It takes a little bit to get use to them... After you get used to being able to use the full mirror.... You will hate to use a regualr mirror..


I got mine at AM auto parts for 180 shipped with coupon code.....Full manual no heat....

Thanks for the input guys! Looks like I will be ordering these very soon.

Oh btw, does the factory harness work with the new mirrors?

Also, I believe on the 08's, everything but heat is plug and play...that is unless you have a rear defroster or heated mirrors now, then a good chance heat will work, just plug and play.
