Towing Mirrors - have anyone installed this in a 70' series (1 Viewer)

[Bulimba]

Hi All,

I want to believe im not the only one bothered by the constant vibration of the rearview mirrors, I have tried tightening screws, using rubber inserts, etc.. still no luck.

In my search I came across this - that also provide another function as towing mirrors - they are very expensive so wondering if anyone in the community have a suggestion for an alternate or similar.

thinking about them for my 93 HZJ73 - Toyota Landcruiser Towing Mirrors | LC70-LC79 Series Towing Mirrors - https://msa4x4.com.au/product-category/towing-mirrors/toyota-landcruiser-lc70-lc79-series/

Cheers,

Hello,

In old age, mirror screws become loose. Suspension rattling wears threads: in time, screws cannot hold. It is because the mirror frame is made of plastic.

The mirror attaches to its base with two (or three, I cannot remember exactly) screws. You have access to these from the base.

Quick solution: a thread lock compound like LockTite. It may be overkill, though, if you ever need to repair the mirror.

Practical solution: a makeshift thread lock compound like polystyrene glue or lacquer. It does the job, and it is possible to remove without breaking the assembly.

OEM 70 Series Black Mirrors, Fits FJ60 - Set of 2

Set of 2 OEM black side mirrors for Toyota Land Cruiser FJ70, FJ75, FJ78, FJ79. Base gaskets are included as shown. Can be fitted to the FJ60 / 60 Series to great effect, as seen in the photos. A small gap may be observed under the gasket that most consider to be inconsequential.

These have been great for me, plus don't look ugly.

With those towing mirrors, all you need is the Dodge Diesel Cummins badge to make it complete. They remind me of the mirrors on those trucks and while it may be a Texas thing they always drive around with them fully extended and no trailer in tow.
