Any rubbing on or offroad? What about with the with sway bar disconnected?

Ive noticed the slightest bit of rub on some of the rougher parts of the trails I run, with the sway bar disconnected, but not enough to worry me in the least.

What size wheels are the methods MR 315s? Any offset?
 
They are 17x8.5 with a +25mm offset. With the Toyo RT Trails running a little small in the 37 inch size, it seems to be just about the perfect combination for overlanding and some moderate trail use.

I've got some innov8 g700 wheels in the same size and offset coming, really want some 37's, but don't want any rubbing (see my mods in sig below)....
 
Which ones can be swapped in? Do the newer style work? I took a quick look on infotainment.com (where I bought my mirrors from) and the only ones they had were the same style but power folding (which you may already have)

I'm a big fan of the mirrors on my 2024, if those go.

Not sure what's available but if an oem swap isn't possible I might see what the aftermarket has out there.

I'm starting to get used to them but they're definitely awkward especially folded down.

Mine have never been folded up, what makes them awkward? IMO they're pretty good, especially with the added flexibility of the little spotter mirror on the outside.

I prefer the blind spot mirrors closest to the rig where the blind spot usually is. These are on the outside when folded down (which is why I fold them up..makes them a little closer to normal for me) Another issue I have is the magnification on the main mirrors are too strong imo.....they make vehicles appear way closer than they actually are. One could argue it's a safety feature but when I have to take my eyes off the road to double check I think it negates that feature. I'm used to them now but my F350 was like driving in a fish bowl compared to the PW but don't get me wrong I do love my rig.

The main mirrors have no magnification, they're completely flat by law (US law, anyway). I agree with you on the blind spot mirrors being awkward when folded down though.

The '23+ mirrors are much better. There's a few threads here on swapping them out. It's not plug and play, but it doesn't appear like too much work if you're handy and have some tools.
