Took ours yesterday afternoon to get the emission checked and pay taxes/licensing for another year.
I fabricated a base plate to mount the passenger side front sun visor which fell down on our last trip of 2010. I hung it back up after our trip but didn't get the warm and fuzzies that it was very secure. I was right, after wiggling it a little last night it dropped again. Luckily I had a hold of it so it didn't fall on the dash.
I fabricated a mounting base plate out of 1" x .125" strip and spot welding a couple of 10-32 nuts on the backside. Countersunk the screws which will hold the strip to the ceiling and then the windshield visor will attach to the mounting strip via the 10-32 screws. Should be much more secure. I bead blasted and painted it semi-gloss black so it will blend in with the visor and not stand out, I will install it tonight.
As far as the ride with the new Koni FSD shocks, all I can say is that I am impressed with the difference they made. I could tell a difference before we even hit the interstate. Mike.
