NEO auto Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Anyone have a white Lund visor? Would like one for my 1987. Here’s is a render of what I’m looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Just so you know right off the bat, XJ and MJ Lund visits are different and do not interchange properly. Real Lund sun visors pop up occasionally. Moon visors (lighted) rarely come up. Which do you prefer? There is a guy doing reproductions of them and are very accurate except for the lights on the lighted ones. He has a post in the "vendor" section.

I haven’t decided whether to go with the lighted or non-lighted visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think the lighted one would look great on your truck, but only if you get the proper Lund style of lights that wraps around the front edge of the visor, the repop ones have tiny dome like lights on them and those just don't look right to me.

If I were to get a repo, I would go without the lights. But an original moon visor would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to dremel out the area and reinforce it from the back with more fiberglass. I had originally planned to do that when I found an MJ visor but I bought an XJ moonvisor to officially determine if there was a difference between the MJ and XJ. During the time I owned it, I realized it would be risky to retrofit the Lund lights to a sun visor due to the dremeling and fiberglassing. It can be done and wouldn't be hard, just have to be willing to lose some money or have to do repair work if you screwed up. I have zero experience with fiberglass work like that so I decided not to do it. That was a couple years ago, now I probably would go for it.

I asked him a couple years ago on Facebook and all he would do then was the dome style, he actually pointed me to a light kit like you posted and said I could retrofit it myself. If he won't do those lenses for you, he may at least be able to add reinforcement behind the lip so you wouldn't have to mess with that yourself.

Used the black truck as a reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
