Craigslist, junk yards, and eBay. They don't make them new anymore and they're becoming harder and harder to find. Good luck.

Btw this shouldn't be in fab.

A mod can move it if they feel like it.

If you end up finding a visor try to google the part number on it before buying it so you can confirm its a cherokee one. I bought one and it ended up being for a blazer even though the guy I bought it off of had it on a cherokee.

Go for it. Don't be surprised if he wants $100+ for it.

Make a template of the mounting holes in your Jeep then go to the junkyard and find some. If all you can find are trashed out ones, you can just rebuild them. It is pretty easy....

He's talking about Lund visors, not sun visors.

Oh... I have never seen those on a Cherokee here in Phoenix, Valley of the Sun. Odd that here, where we get more sun than anybody else, nobody uses them.

I have seen them on big Ford and Chevy trucks...usually ones that have every imaginable aftermarket plastic part stuck all over it.

Why, do you suppose, it is hard to find them?

Because they are aftermarket parts that were popular back in the day, but they're not made anymore by LUND so all that's left are the original circulation. Many have been ripped off, crushed, and lost.

There are some non-original LUND brand ones though.

I always liked the ones with cab lights built in. There's a local XJ with one and it's pretty cool
