Default Tow mirrors

I was wondering if anyone has put or seen tow mirrors on a xj, I saw some on a grand cherokee and thought it was sweet so I thought it would be cool to throw a pair on my xj, any thoughts?

Why would an XJ need tow mirrors. You can't tow anything big like a ghost trailer all the dumb kids around here .........

Tow mirrors and ghost trailers = small ***** which is dwarfed in size in both girth and length by majority of girls clitoris's

Wouldn't you just smash obnoxious mirrors on a rock or tree?

Well aren't you bunch, a ray of F%$#*ng sunshine?


Someone **** in your cornflakes this morning?


This turning into the Pirate 4X4 site?


I pull a large 10X6X6 cargo trailer around all day long and twice on Saturday. Then again I do take care of my equipment and it is capable of towing the 5000 lbs the manufacturer says it can.


I could sure use some Tow mirrors.


The kind that clip onto your stock mirrors that you would obviously take off if your wheeling. Unless your Rere1992.


And what the hell is a "Ghost" trailer Tom? If you'd try to write in coherent sentences we might know what you mean. Too bad English hasn't been taught in such a long time. You might also want to go see a Shrink to talk about your ***** size obsession.


I know the mirrors the OP saw were available to the XJ's at one time but I haven't seen them listed anywhere for a long time. If you see them for sale anywhere let me know! I want a set too.

HowIsthisforasentenceandproperenglish. I was making a joke your the one that got all butt hurt ! Btw a 10x6 trailer is a little ***** trailer. I used to haul a triple axle trailer with a case 580c backhoe every day with a old ford 9000 dump truck sometimes I had the backhoe and a case 650 bulldozer on the trailer

He's referring to those who drive Dodge Cummin's with the type of mirrors that flip up and out when towing. You see guys in their bro-trucks driving around rolling coal with those mirrors flipped up all the time. When they do this the common joke is something like, "look at that bro-truck, he's got the ghost trailer hooked up."

Thanks Vank. I had never heard that before. I really don't pay much attention to that crowd other than when they **** me off while I'm driving a REAL big truck. I drive long haul out of London Ontario into the Midwest USA.

I was looking into this myself. I personally tow a 12x7 dual axle enclosed trailer with all my landscape equipment on the weekends. It can be a b*** backing into tight spots with the stock mirrors. Dry weight of the trailer is 1800lbs. I'm on 31" with stock gears and it tows nice. I wouldn't want to run a business with it but it allows me to keep up my properties and my families properties. I have a pic on here of my set up.
