See using tow mirrors for what they are for is fine, might not need them much as you can't really tow a large or long trailer without exceeding the weight limit(big trailers as in 2500lb+)
If you read what the op said, he wanted to get some to look "cool" so basically like a poser cummins bi***

I don't see anywhere in his statement that he thought he'd "Look" cool.
Just that it'd BE cool if he could install some.
But then what do I know. It used to be called Reading Comprehension when I went to school. I guess it's called "Jumping to Conclusions" or "Selective Reading Skills" nowadays.
AND for fun I just spent an hour looking for XJ Towing mirrors. On Google.
Everything is for the ZJ or WJ or wrangler or TJ Lots of universal stuff but no specific one made for the XJ.

I don't know why everyone has to rag on the guy because he wants tow mirrors on his jeep. Sure most of us think it's a dumb idea, but the OP didnt build his jeep to everyone else's standards. Who cares, if you have insight, help the fellow out. If not, chuckle and move on. The forums about helping and providing knowledge. Wanna bash people? Log yourself into good ol pirate 4x4

I never ragged in anyone. I simply asked if those mirrors were feasible for what 99% of us do here. Here on the east coast, there are some trails you can't fit into unless both are folded in, let alone extended. And like the guy that got butt hurt said, just use clip on tow mirrors.

Wow people get pissy and like to talk ****. Honestly I haven't had time to google it yet. Wasn't night on my priority list at the moment. I just saw a thread on the subject and thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. If you think it's stupid why even open the thread? No life other than to **** talk other guys? Thought we were all just here to share info and enjoy the Cherokees
