Default Prepping the Lund Visor

Not a huge thing; but its a monday and I also did a sh*t ton of mulching after work. Sand prepping the Lund Visor we got off the donor jeep a while back. It should look good with the safari rack on there now.

Good: Jeep has less chance of burning to the ground on side of the road now
Bad: Someone else touched my Jeep
Did you sanitize it after it was touched by another?

Not that is really matters. If your XJ is like mine, all the bolts break off regardless of which way you turn them. lol
