New Mirrors

[Scrambler82]

The word "wiggle" may have been a word I may have exaggerated on a little bit. In reality and in person, the Keystone brand mirrors were on-par with OE quality. My OEM Ford mirrors wiggle around ever so sightly mostly due to out-of-round tires thus making the truck bounce at speed, so my truck will be different than most. The wiggle/shake is nothing like a '82 chevy pickup with worn out mirror bushings..... like I said, ever so slightly. The Keysone mirror glass "shook" less than my OEM brand new Ford brand units.

I think the Keystone's are the best choice in regards to price vs. quality. This based on two local friends who upgraded their mirrors. I'm actually considering getting a pair with the caps for my truck. Color matched.

Also Grev, I'm working on signals for '06+ mirrors. I'll hook you and Pedro up if I perfect my idea.

My bad........my notes were regarding non-power equipped trucks. I'm 112% sure the plugs are different. I was more-so speaking on the mounting to the truck. Some drill out the door holes out bigger while others, like myself currently, shave the mirrors and make them fit the truck. I've done both.

If you have ran LKQ yard in your area, LKQ is a big seller of Keystone after market parts.

Thks for that and YES get back to me with your ideas.

I will look up the 06 mirrors from keystone.

To back pedal back to my earlier comment with the word "wiggle"... I have a pretty loud stereo system with decent bass and so did my friends. My OE Ford mirror glass vibrated more than the Keystone brand mirrors. Wiggle was so totally the wrong word. lol.

I don't think so. The Keystone brand is sold at LKQ junkyards/recyclers across the country and possibly others. They used to be their own company, then LKQ bought 'em out. Their website forwards you to LKQ's corporate website:

But from what I've found, I haven't really read or heard any complaint against any aftermarket 06+ mirror from folks who've done the swap.

Very true. Generic descriptions indeed. My best suggestion is to contact your local LKQ dealer/yard and go from there. From what I've gathered, online ordering is only for repair facilities, not walk-in cash customers.
