    14'2"W x 14'2"H 53,000lbs heading to NJ next week.

    Was lighter than I was originally told so I'll be taking the flip axle off the back before leaving Monday morning.

    Quite easy when they are loaded with a crane! Real work comes when time to unload and drive off!

    Made by this place:
    http://www.amcracing.com/Mirror Extensions.htm

    Came with 24" extension bars. Need to get some at 36" though. These aren't quite enough. Might see if I can scrounge up some material this weekend and make some.

    They were $185+shipping when I got them.

    Bought them last fall after hauling a 13'W crate from Seattle. Didn't have extensions at the time and it cost significantly more because I had to run a chase car all the way to WI because of states that require it if you can't see past the load.

    AMC was the only place that I could find that even made them. Quality is awesome. They are all anodized aluminum to match the OEM mirror arm paint.
     
    Logan76, SAR, LoneCowboy and 6 others Thank this.

    The quality is top notch. USA made too so I really liked that.

    Ran them up to 70 on the freeway today and they were pretty stable. Didn't shake any worse than the mirrors on my bike.
