COTT non-powered 62 style mirrors

[Cruiserdrew]

Another for the OEM 62 mirrors. Just tell Cruiserdan you want the non-powered ones, and he'll fix you up. I don't personally know these CCoT mirrors, but everything I've gotten from them over the years has been on the lower tier of quality. I have not ordered there in years because of this.

I had the CCOT mirrors on my 60 for maybe a year and a half. Cheap plastic, lots of vibration, they eventually cracked and fell off.

The only thing I've ever liked about the J##p Wrangler is the mirrors. I think that with a shim they could be made to fit the curve of the 60 door.

Just screwed a set of the cheap, black, 62 style, CCOT mirros on. They look great and it's nice to be able to see behiond me now, but they are poor quality and vibrate quite a bit. Probably ok for my rig but I would spring for the real ones if it was a daily driver.

I have OEM and the driver's side vibrates like crazy... not the housing, just the glass/mirror piece.

I have not taken it apart to see if it is missing a stop or something... anyone experienced this with OEM? If so, is there a fix?

TX -
You'll have to sacrifice the glass to fix the problem: the mount nut is behind it. Any auto glass shop should be able to get you the Burco replacement glass. We charge $30 plus tax installed.

I have a pair of Taiwaneze "chrome" 62 mirrors that I'll practically give away because the adjustment sucks (see Shinichi's post). I did change the glass & tighten the mounts, though, because the original cheapo stuff was so distorted it made me feel like I was drunk the first time I tried backing into my garage. Wish I'd known to modify the range of adjustment.

Finally popped for "OEM Aussie" mirrors from a stealer in CA only to find out the heads were plastic. They're much better since I changed the glass to flat from convex (IH8CONVEX) & installed the correct pads ($9 ea from MAF) but not perfect.

There is a good thread on fixing the oem mirror with several different ways, all are good methods. I haven't figured out how to post the link in a reply yet or I would hook ya up with the thread. Sorry, noob on computer. I think every F60 owner has, or will have to fix the vibrating mirror scenario!! It is better to fix the vibrating mirror scenario than to replace with non oem replacements.

I may have figured how to post a thread, if so, click the link below

I too would like to change the passenger side mirror. Poor field of view. I can live with the Drivers side, Not great but seviceable. My Old 83 Toy PU had truck mirrors. The were great. Big and ugly, but functional. I got rid off a new set that i had in my garage when i sold my house. Solid tripod type. If I still had i would be tempted to install them. Big Ugly solid and probably functional.

The knock-off 62 mirrors are better than stock 60 mirrors in my opinion. Of course, OEM is even better.

+1 Poor Quality and they vibrate. But they're a whole hell of a lot better than the stock postage stamp sized mirrors. I got mine from CCOT for around $50 and shipping, IIRC. All in all, I'm very happy with the improved visibilty and would reccomend them to anybody not happy with their stockers.

The CCOT ones sound like they are ok, at least for us 60 guys with little, plastic p.o.s. mirrors. The main complaint is a vibration or rattle. This used to happen on my Nissan pickup too. A small bead of clear silicone between mirror frame and mirror face took care of it no problem. Just be careful not to make a mess all over the mirror surface. IMO it sounds like they would be an improvement. If I had 62 mirrors already, totally different story. MY .02.

Say what you will, but the Toyota mirrors are worth every penny. They have great visibility, and actually work, unlike the crappy OEM mirrors. Mine don't vibrate and the chrome looks appropriate for the year. No one who doesn't know, would know, they didn't come with the truck.
