You are still talking Ranger Mirrors, correct ?
The 06 Mirrors are almost a bolt on, some of the 06 Mounting points need to be cut off... that's it !

Check out the Ranger-Forums.com Site and see the How-To On 06 Mirror.

Added:  I do not think the F150 Mirrors will fit... period !

As for the F150 mirrors.....you just tossed down the gauntlet and I love a good challenge! ;)
I guess I'll just have to keep y'all posted. :D

** I'd still appreciate anyone else experiences/tips.  I'm smart enough to know what I don't know. ;) **

OK on the Challenge... and on anyone else comments !
I too wanted to try the larger F150 Mirrors, my reasons for not even attempting it were fitment and the size, I thought from looking they might be too BIG !

You will be using the '98... ?  What ever you do I should be able to do on my '03.

First thing I would think needs to be done is how much difference is there between the F150 Mounting Plate and the Ranger Mounting.
Then how to cut up the F150's to it the same or near to the Ranger.
After that if someone wants Powered Mirrors, or heated Mirrors that can be addressed.
I know you aren't going there but just thinking out loud and hoping for the best !

Please... if you attempt this, keep me in the loop, I do not have any additional info but am VERY interested in how the outcome will be, in both looks and what it took to mount them.

Hoping for the best, this could start a whole new trend in mirrors for the Rangers.

I'm starting to think large mirrors with the blind spot mirror on the bottom.

Good Luck, good cutting !
