HAHAHAHA! This is GENIUS!

Or just spend $10 at home depot and replace with hardwood utility panel plywood! Did this a couple weekends ago.

I had the same plan until I realized:
1) I would prob mess it up again the next time I have to move
2) that headliner material is expensive! Think it would have cost me ~$40 just for the material (I'm cheap)
3) Home depot is a lot more fun to go to than Joann's Fabrics!

Bonus: My Jeep now smells like a lumberyard.

I don't know Joann's Fabrics but I bet the customers are cuter and better smelling than at HomeDepot or Lowes! :rolleye0012:

old people vs dirt! :o

PO went completely nuts with a stapler in mine. Looks ghetto, but keeps droopy stuff outta the way!

"But wait!! call in the next 10 minutes, we'll throw in one for you passenger! Just pay processing!"

I'm experiencing this too right now. I was thinking thumb tacks, but then it crossed my mind one of them could end up beiing sat on. I like this stapler idear. Think I'll go to town on this SOB. Thanx guys. All great ideals.

[abebehrmann]

I tried thumb tacks, staples, and small nails but they all came out as soon as I rolled down my windows. Mine was pretty ripped up from our last move so that prob played a big part in them not staying.

[4.3LXJ]

When mine sagged I tore it out. Now it is ready for new material when I get around to it

I honestly wouldn't put the customers of either of these places in a beauty contest unless their competition are the people of Walmart.

Hey Jake, did you just hold it up there with the visor, or does it have something else holding it up there?? Figure that works good for a temp deal till you can pull it, and then recover it and put it all back together...

[bigjim350]

I just went to the junkyard on 1/2 price weekend and got a good headliner out of another xj for $7.

[Rocco83]

Nice score.

Yep, the visor holds it up. Definitely temporary, although more longer than i would like but other things keep knocking it down the list. :rolleyes:

Replacing the headliner is not too hard for a small DIY project...
( published an article about it when I have done the work, if you wish to read: replacing headliner (http://www.jeepsallover.com/content.php?114-How-to-replace-the-headliner-2001-Jeep-Cherokee-XJ) )

[Rocco83]

I'm starting to get a little droop over the driver's seat spot. Thinking of pulling out the headliner out and just spraying the ceiling with bedliner.

[rabies]

why not rip it out?
sticker bomb the roof. i do it in every car.
and when it rains sounds perrty cool. ..like a humvee

[abebehrmann]

I'm starting to get a little droop over the driver's seat spot. Thinking of pulling out the headliner out and just spraying the ceiling with bedliner.

The only problem I see with that is both of my interior lights are hung on the headliner in my Jeep. Not sure if that's the case in others, I know at least my front one didn't come from the factory like that. I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to hang them directly from the roof though. Or maybe you could spray the headliner with bedliner... Oh man, you've gotten the creaky gears turning now! :crazy:

You mean taking the fabric off the headliner and then hitting what's left with bedliner? I had't thought about that. None of the overhead lights in my Jeep work currently so not having them up there at all would not bother me. I had thought about getting some adhesive and popping a couple led lights up there after I bedline it. That is a project that is a ways down the road yet. My headliner isn't pissing me off terribly yet.

I have never ridden in a humvee I could even remotely hear the rain falling, or anything else that was falling on the roof to include rocks and other crap being thrown at it, or raining down from buildings... But I did think about pulling my headliner in my 98 when it started sagging, at least until I could recover it, and then sticker bombing the roof with random off road decals, as well as other that people decided to add to the collection...

Not going to lie I have never in my life put one sticker on any vehicle I've owned, or really liked stickers on vehicles. (Until I saw the sticker of the Cherokee running over a stick family) But I do kind of like the idea of ripping out the headliner and letting fellow riders throw up stickers there. Have a sticker up there for each trail you've done ect. Be like the autograph book I had of all the sorostitutes I studied with in college.

[abebehrmann]

Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking. No worries of the fabric coming undone but you still have the clean look of the headliner. Plus it would be easier than taping off windows and spraying bedliner upside down.

I'm the same way, never put a sticker on a vehicle until I got the XJ. Then I said, "Screw it! I'm never getting rid of this thing!" And slapped a few stickers on it I had laying around. I still think political stickers are stupid, not only because I find politicians in general a bunch of lying bastards, but I think people look pretty stupid when they're driving around in 2014 with a Gore/Lieberman or Romney/Ryan or any other loser sticker on the back of their car. (My apologies to anyone who has one of those stickers on their XJ, I meant everyone EXCEPT you :D)

[Rocco83]

Well the good thing with stickers I guess is that I know every damn person in the US has been to the outter banks.

I think I may go with the sticker bomb inside idea.

[Rocco83]

Haha that steering wheel is the shit!!

[XJ Wheeler]

Hey, i kinda like that. Although, i wouldn't do it to this jeep i might if i had a trail rig. The heat would probably make it a sauna in there i'm thinking.

If you had used a clear lid instead of a blue one,


... you could of just cut a hole in the liner,





... and the roof,


and had a sunroof .. ;);)


:p .. :D
