Since you reuse parts from your original visors do these stay up? Say if you put a garage door opener on them?

Weather permitting I will be as well. Finally got the butyl and MLV installed. I've neglected this project for 4 years now.
Decided to get her some 33’s yesterday.
Looks great. With BFGs reputation, any chance you measure them at actually 33" diameter?
Haven’t measured yet, but guessing 32.5-32.7” based on past experience.
Specs. is at 32.5 I was eye balling the same size for my pick up. The General Grabber X3 is a real 33" which I'm also considering i like their Red lettering.
I had Grabber x3 and they didn't balance worth a damn, and only lasted like 25k miles. But they were very tough and did great off road.
Now I have Kanati Mud Hog from Simpletire.com
in 35x10.50x15 and LOVE them for less than half the cost of Grabbers or BFG.
any chance you could pm me some pics of how it went?
Hey folks, new to the forum and this obsession. Appreciate all the knowledge and information being shared across the board. It's really helped me tackle the baselining of my FJ62. Here's what I've done since bringing her home on Saturday:
Fresh NGK spark plugs gapped to spec
Went behind the steering column to address the non-running high-beams. Also swapped the H1s for lower wattage sealed beams to reduce battery draw

The butyl/MLV or carpet install? I intend to put up a pretty extensive how-to with photos when I'm done but I have some photo's of what's been done so far in the build thread and some stuff I have yet to upload.
Oh perfect, yeah pretty much all of it. Ive got to reseal some seam sealer inside my fender this weekend, and then after thats done im going to do butyl and MLV and then do a dnp carpet kit. Its all just been sitting waiting to be done. I got some MLV from second skin that is the closed cell foam and MLV in one so im hoping it skips a step
I did Kilmat and the second skin luxury liner pro MLV, same as what you got. Haven’t taped the MLV seams because it’s too cold but here’s some of what I’ll eventually be posting.
I did the exact same, had to pull the jute off the carpet though
dude thank you! did you have to pull the jute off of the new carpet or the old carpet? Have you driven it yet since doing all of this?
New carpet, you add a lot of thickness to the floor with the MLV and the sound deadener. It’s very quiet in the cab, conversations at 75 easy. I was thinking about putting more around the tunnel/t case to mitigate the whine more
nice! well at least its worth all the extra work. Wonder if you could jam the jute back in around the tunnel area if it would help much?
I was wondering about this. Did you try with the jute on first and found it too much or did you rip it out from the start?
Tried at first but too much. Honestly the MLV is almost too much for the carpet to fit perfectly
Hey. So, here's a write up I did several years ago for another 62 I owned: Sun Visors - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/sun-visors.862485/post-11649786
Visors are still available and you can see some other members who did the same.
