ok well I don't have pics of the actual install but I do have these pics of the new mirrors installed and pics of the replaced parts on the bed of my truck will this suffice?

Did you do a kit or piece things together? I already have the flip up tow mirrors but the power folding would be amazing.

I researched a lot of threads here in the forums of which there are plenty about this and on one of those threads a member that goes by KAD had a parts list which was very helpful he also recommended getting in contact with Benny from All Mopar Parts with VIN to make sure I get the right new door switch for drivers door, that apparently is something that changes between years, To answer the other question the mirrors are approx. 2'' wider in the normal position and approx. 4'' wider in the Up towing position.

that would maybe fit in my garage. I've got maybe 3 inches clearance on either side now.

maybe fold them in before you get all the way in??? just remember if you go to the power folding mirror you also need to replace the door modules in both sides, also there are support brackets to add like the factory does. Some people have added the mirrors with out them but they do weigh more than the standard mirrors and I've heard some say they experience some vibration of the mirror with out them.

Got up this am, could not find my keys.
Used the spar set.
Remember I took a fall Friday after work in front of the truck.
Their they set in the snow all weekend.

My OCD was in overtime this am for sure.
Life is good!

I have the folding mirrors now, just not the tow variety. What I really need is a different house with a better garage setup!

I would love to have the power fold option. Ball park cost and degree of difficulty?

Had one of my woofers on my PPI 3 ways stop working for some reason so purchased a set of Eric Stevens mb6-4 misbasses and then snooped around and picked up a set of Dayton rs100-4 4” midranges and Peerless soft dome tweeters. Next is grabbing a Dayton DSP-408 and run these things active. All this because a speaker stopped working.... smh.

Picked mine up from the dealer. After a week long stay over for a few recalls. Thank you sweet baby Jesus it’s back in the drive way.
