Default Various mirrors that don't work so hot with TT

I've tried these: http://www.campingworld.com/shopping...w-mirror/25855 they don't vibrate much, but don't extend far enough out to make much difference.
Had these jokers from back when I had my Cherokee http://www.campingworld.com/shopping...w-mirror/21154 , same problem with the TT, not enough extension.
I saw those like yours http://www.campingworld.com/shopping...w-mirror/14887 and could see right away that without a 'tripod' type stance, they would be vibrating pretty bad.

Now, these last jokers I bought would barely fit the fenders on the Tundra, but had the 'tripod mount' idea so the base would be rock steady after they were clamped on http://www.rvpartscenter.com/Product...ID=142&CID=338 but then there was that little 'post' the mirror head mounted to that allowed the head to vibrate to the point of being useless. Additionally, the things located right in the blind spot of the windshield pillars on the drivers side and seemed so far away on the passenger side (plus the vibration) that usefulness was marginal. So, unless my Tundra morphs into a Chevy with neato automatic poke out mirrors I guess I'll just keep experimenting.
