flint54 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Scored a Lund sun visor off an 87 long bed at the JY today. Looks as if it had been installed for many years, very faded and peeled. Now I'm debating, do I really want to drill all those holes into the cab to mount it? I like the look, but that's a drastic mod and irreversible. Comments?

HOrnbrod Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I wouldn't call it irreversible; it's just a few 1/4" holes in the roof. :D Just fill them in and repaint the roof. But I wouldn't install one that wasn't in good shape. If you do, use some neoprene washers between the visor and cab roof; it'll never leak.

johnj92131 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 You should never put that on a Florida Truck. Way too much rain. It will leak and rust your floors out in a month. Instead, please carefully wrap it and ship it to Southern California - it never rains in Southern California, so the visor can be safely used here (by me). Seriously, if you want to sell it - let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I found one from the jy for $20. Installed it with nuts, bolts, rubber washers and for added measure, put clear silicone on it too. it does not leak a drop and ive tested it with a high pressure hose at a car wash. Like hornbrod said, its easily reversible just fill the holes and you'll never know it was ever there. As long as its not cracked or chipped anywhere it will clean up nice. a little sanding, primer and paint and your good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flint54 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 RE: Seriously, if you want to sell it - let me know. I'll keep that in mind. Truck will be headed to a much drier climate next year, and maybe by then I will have decided whether to pull the "drill" trigger or not. In the mean time it sits in the ever-growing pile of parts that vexes my bride. A little effort to strip the old peeling paint and it will be like new.
