**** Mirrors
My **** mirrors scratched the chrome covers on the truck when I had my '98. When I got the new truck, I covered the holding bars inside of the *****. Just glued a thin piece of carpet to each bar.

Good idea!! I've noticed the scratches on my 98 too! At one time I thought about the X-Mount mirrors (telescoping; just like the 250's) until I saw the $400 price tag!!!
Sounds like another few years of slipping the ****'s on & off!!!

Hi On my 99SC
I made a post on this sometime back..maybe Aug/ 01...Lucericx X-mount mirrors etc..
Anyhow, didnt know about x-mount till after i installed ****.
**** slide on gave me that extension, but still not enough mirror surface or depth like the tow-mirrors on SD etc. Didnt like looking at double mirrors and double view...made it confusing for me
Anyhow...the x-mount as stated aint cheap...but for me was worth the $...there easy to install...just follow the directions.
They extend out approx: 4"...which is more than enought for my TT 7'3" wide. They should also work great on 8'wide..
BTW...these are not junk...quality etc...great warranty..

Do you have pictures of them installed? I havne't checked the site yet so they may but I thought I'd ask. I'd like to do somehting for my Expy but I'm not sure if I can without really changing it. My boat has an 8'6" beam so the trailer is about 10' wide at max and I have to tilt mine down slightly just to watch the trailer wheels! It's nerve racking sometimes on narrow roads or in traffic!
:EDIT:
Just saw them. They don't look bad! However, they don't make them for the Expy. I'd think they would work on the Expy but I would loose the lights in mine. I was impressed to see that they use the OEM connector for the electic controls!!

Hi Family Ride
Your right, as i recall, they dont have them for the Expy. Thats a big boat...trailer 10' wide....geez...is that legal without a lead or follow vehicle?
No i didnt post pics....maybe someday ill learn how to do that.
Just passing along...Trailer Life mag. Feb O2...did a story and pics. on the Lucerix xmount.
Good luck...OT

OT, it's am 8'6" (102") beam which is the max to be 50 state legal for towing. Now thinking about it, I bet that that puts the trailer at 9' which is the max width!
It's wide beam boat. Once you get to the 27'-28' you usually get up to the 9'2" or wider beam. Unless you ar Cigarette! Their 31' and larger boats are a 7'10" I beleive it is, and all are twin power! Takes them forever to get on plane but once they do, top end is out there!!!! And all for a starting price of about $125000!

They don't fit the Expy
FamilyRide;
I checked this last summer. The mirrors fit the 150 but not the Expedition. I couldn't believe this, so I compared my truck to a friends F150 and sure enough the mounts are different (bigger on the Expy).
OT - on a separate note, I see the new Autometer has a black box for their tachs to work with the coil on plug ignition. It is in the 2002 catalogue on the website. I remembered you were looking for this a while ago.
