Anybody try mirrors like this?

I’m not a big fan of the 40 series mirrors and wondering if there was other options. post pics if you run a different set up please and thank you.

Yes and don't do it. The mirrors need to be on an arm to be positioned further from the door to allow a good rearward view. When mounted closer to the body much of the rear of the 40 blocks your view to the rear.

40's are thick and have big booty's

Did the mounts look ok on the door? If I can’t fab up mounts or arms, I have friends that can. It’s amazing what 3D printers can do if you have techy buddies.

those look good, but I’m not a fan of the wavy arm personally. I like the icon arm and mount on these but can’t justify $900 for a set of mirrors

Those Icons are pretty sweet.

@Cornhole from your original post it sounds like you are having the same issue with mirrors that I am... I do really like the Icon mirror, but, the price.. Did I say that enough, THE PRICE... lol. Like my wife said to me the other day, "I think I would have to slap you everytime you rubbed a $900.00 mirror off a tree" That all being said, (hopefully I don't get kicked off this site for saying this) I bought a couple used J--p mirrors the other day that I am gonna make a mount for them. Here is a pic of the mirrors I bought. The mount is aluminum so I think I can weld my own plate to it so it mounts to the door hinge. I won't be able to work on them till next week I will post some pics on my build thread as I go. It does seem that the arm on these is a little short for the 40. But, I figure I will make up a little in the mount to the hinge. HTH

I was after improved function not appearance thus not concerned on how they looked on the door.

FJ40 EXTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRRORS (OEM TOYOTA)

Now, onto the arms. Some bad news on these that I discovered while chatting with Cdan. 87902-90301: RH MIRROR ARM: 8/1976-EOP. Does not come with gasket, though those are available still and the same side-to-side: 87911-90300. Here is the RH unit. It is nice. The bad news: LH side...

My Toyota dealer had the convex mirrors for something less than $50 each - and it’s easy to modify them to fit the stock arms. It’s a big improvement.

I’m not really planning to wheel the truck to much as I have a Tacoma to beat up on in the driveway as well. I’m up in Canada and there isn’t a lot of fj’s left up here due to rust. I sunk a bunch of money into buying a new aluminum body for my 45 so it will never rust again. I’m more or less building a truck to rip up logging roads and be a daily driver. So I’m not to worried about tree branches right now as opposed to being able to see traffic better.

wait...is that $899 PER Mirror or for the pair?

If you have to ask, these aren't the mirror for you.

I bought the SOR aftermarket Euro mirrors and couldn't be happier.
