We have a sun visor that we want to install on our 72 Series III 88. We would appreciate it if, any one that has one installed on their Land Rover, could send a picture of the installation.

Yes, because God knows that Sasquatch shouldn't have to squint...

I like where it says: "Not recommended for tall drivers" I'm close to 6 foot. About 20 years ago I put one on my 109. It came off the following day after driving around feeling like I'm in an armored car with a slit window. I missed being able to see above the tree trunks, the sky and the traffic lights.

I put Defender inside sun visors in my truck instead. Not as cool looking as the external but I decided I preferred looking at trees & mountains to looking cool. Probably a good accessory for the wee folks though.

I tried driving a friend's Rover with one of these, and felt like I was in a bunker myself, though it did cut down dramatically on the glare, I didn't like it. So never bought one.

i am 6'1", have one one on our '68 ambulance, and it keeps the truck cooler in the summer and cuts down the glare. Best thing is that it keeps all the snow off the windscreen in the winter.

The only time i dont have to kiss the steering wheel to see stop lights is when the top is off.

I can see the benefits of one of these for anywhere that doesnt have stop lights....
