Right on man! It's sounding incredible. And the stance you have on it is perfect. I love how intense that green is out in the sun. Damn fine job on this truck JML.

I like how it looks with the visor. You wouldn't happen to know where a guy could find a nice used one do you?

I find these trucks look much better with the visor on for sure. I thought it would reduce visibility when you're driving but no so far its OK. Visors do pop up on eBay every now and then, mine came with the truck, lucky me. Ill check around here but haven't seen an other one around Winnipeg in a long time.

does the viser make more wind noise?

_Ogre · 09-02-2013, 10:49 PM

the brick going down the road makes a lot of wind noise.
adding a visor to the brick?
probably can't tell if it adds noise or not

i don't have a visor
just a loud stereo

I just put one on my truck and it didn't make any difference in the wind noise. Those visors look so cool that it would be worth keeping even if it did increase the noise some, IMO. It does decrease your upward vision some.

JML55, your truck sounds good and looks good.

Baldeagle SR · 09-03-2013, 09:50 AM

How well does the ones that LMC and others sell fit? Has anyone tried one of them? Thanks Rich

I think they all come from CounterPart so it probably won't matter where you get it from. My friend and I both got ours from LMC and they both fit about the same, not real well. Both of ours have the same fitment issues, mostly at the top right corner. You will have to "tweak" it to get a good fit. One thing to consider is, I'm not sure that you could get the screw holes drilled with the windshield in place. It might be possible with a right-angle drill but will be tight.

Baldeagle SR · 09-03-2013, 08:41 PM

Thanks Russ. I plan on putting one on mine. It is nice to know about the windshield being installed.

Got the hood on today, that was at less a 4 hr job and i'm not crazy about the way it lines up with the fender yet. Well the last steps are the hardest, a lot of fine tuning of body panels. Should be able to get the pin strips done soon.

**JML55** · 09-14-2013, 10:54 PM

A couple more

**oldman3** · 09-14-2013, 11:41 PM

Really looking good, nice job...Jim

Roadkill58 · 09-15-2013, 04:20 AM
