I am having the same dilemma at the moment.

I love my L300, I have just bought the caravan of our dreams, the one we have been looking for for 5 years and I don't think the Delica is going to tow it.

I really, really don't want to swap my L300 for a 400. They just don't do it for me in any way. My wife is viewing Land cruisers and nissan patrols. I need to turn my 300 into a towing machine and quick or else I am going to wake up one day driving a very boring vehicle indeed

please help

I don't tow, but the nearside is the one with the long arms on so should be easy enough to make something up that can be attached.

A small bullbar CB mount should fit onto it and then some sort of mirror attached to that should do the trick? Probably need a cuppa and an open minded search for automotive mirrors on eb-ay.

You may even be able to modify the small round mirror to point back?

I don't like the long mount on the nearside mirror and so I made up a short mount out of the original parts, its now mounted on the door, its dark now but will take some pics and post tomorow. Check with Ange, I have a feeling she has door mounted ones on her van.

Good luck. Smile

Just to show you what I've done;

This is how I mounted mine, the bottom mount I got as a complete mirror from halfords and fitted the bars by flattening the end,drilling them and bolting them together the bottom mount is fixed to the door with double sided number plate tape and 4 self tapping screws, the top is drilled and bolted through the window frame, have been on 3 years now and no problems.
