Any 1st Gen 4Runner mirrors upgrade????

I was wondering if anyone has done an upgrade to the side mirrors. I bought my 86 4runner about 1 month ago, but i hate the tiny side view mirrors. Is there a swap or retro fit that we can do to get bigger mirrors, or even a set of power mirrors. I have searched here but i have not found anything

If you have pictures, or a link please let me know.
thanks in advance.

I was thinking of a set of mirrors like that, but i was not sure on how it would look on the 4runner.

I realized this is a dead thread, but I've searched around and this is the most relevant topic that I could find...

Does anyone know if the Hilux found in other parts of the world came with larger side mirrors as an option? I ask because I was watching a video from africa.nickandjoanne.com (cool website and trip)...and I noticed that the side mirrors on their are twice the size of the mirrors on 1st gen 4runners, and it looks completely stock & interchangable with the style I have. Appears to be the exact same mounting.

You can see what I'm talking about here

Let me know because I've been trying to source bigger mirrors for our trip thru Central & South America. I'm really not a fan of the "trucker look" in the pics above so I'm trying to avoid those mirrors.
