Default door Mirror swap

Does anyone know if there any door mirrors I can swap that will bolt right on that are bigger than my stock 89 mirrors. I don't care if the wiring is different I can figure out how to wire it im just don't want it to look like a butcher job on the mounting. I do quite a bit of towing and the stock 89 XJ mirrors are too small.

Dammit I wish I had known this. Replaced my stock ones with OEM 89 ones since the insides of the stock ones rusted out and the left one snapped off one day.

The 97+ and 89's are both $32 each (for the manual ones that I have) on RA, and like ~$40-50 for the power ones. So same price.

Obviously you could probably find them at the junkyard though. I was in a hurry when I did mine.

It's good to know because they're basically universal Cherokee parts for junkyard parts, as long as the guts aren't rusted out I'll be snagging any I see from now on.

Oh well...
