Thanks Nate, I have never seen one like that from Rod ( Custom Drop Visors ) so I just sent him a PM with the pic of the truck I am using for reference and he made me one. I have about a dozen visor's from Rod and the have all met or exceeded my expectations. Maybe this will be a regular visor that Rod starts making.

Travis, this truck is looking great! Really appreciate all the details. Did you make the airbags from turned plastic or something else? Very cool!

Should have included in my earlier question: where did you get the springs for your air bags? Single or dual?

Thanks,
Ken
