    Sun Visor

    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...

            How are you going to see the stoplights?

              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.

                  go for it

                  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.

                    x2. When I lived in snow country it was a big help with snow and ice.

                    Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck
                    in places even more inaccessible.

                      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....
