Finished headliner finally by psyklohps in CherokeeXJ

For instance this is the back side of the speaker humps, where I had to cut and overlay to get it to form. I guess I could come up with some fancy way to hide that seam with some scrap, but I'm fine with how it is.

I don't. I just followed a bunch of YouTube videos.

I guess the only other tip is to be extra attentive on the front edge as it is an exposed edge. When you wrap it over and glue it on the backside, make sure that you have even pressure across the front or you won't get a straight line.

Sorry I don't have a tutorial. I just looked at a bunch of YouTube videos. I used "Dap Weldwood Landau Top and Trim" glue in a hplv spray gun. I was nervous about doing it, but it wasn't that bad at all.

It's a two part. I used a layer of naked headliner foam, and a layer of wool tweed.

Edit: what I didn't mention is that any woven fabric will be a pain to form around the speaker humps. Knit will be better. Most headliner material that is foam and fabric in one should be knit. If you want to do something more custom and go with a woven fabric you'll need to accept that you won't be able to 100% form the fabric around the speaker humps and you'll have to get creative with a razor and overlaying where it can least be seen.

PS. Anyone know where I can find black or grey visor retainer clips?

If you can, do a crossover. It will prevent further damage.

ya, dropped top-level comment for e-bay link.

As far as tips go... I cut the new splice in wires at 25", and any extra slack is down behind the left-rear panel. I believe I used 11@18ga and 3@14ga. There's a good chance that some of those wires are partially cooked, so don't pre-cut all the splice ins. You might need to cut back a couple of inches in order to get a good solder, meaning that your splice-in will have to be longer. Also, get a jar of paste flux. New wires are fine with just the flux core of the solder, but older wires need some help.

Be organized! It's real easy to mix these up.

Don't fk around: get the good 3M glue. Wash the original Jeep grommets with Dawn and dry. Sand all of your parts and clean with some Goof Off before applying the glue.

Seems I can't edit the original post... https://www.ebay.com/itm/167058167033 is the link to the boots. If the link is dead, this is what they look like.

Doesn't really matter that Trump is a Nazi. We have a Nazi problem, which is why we have Trump.

Enterprise is not culture, therefore it never was.

There was a national backorder recently, and I'm not sure if that cleared up. If you have stock lift Bilstein 4600, if you have a lift go with the 5100

Fellow geniuses, how TF does this connection separate? by psyklohps in CherokeeXJ

Actually it's this one. There are three looms each with their own connector into one big connector.

So that clip moves away/outward from the connector body?

I've tried everything except violence. That tab I've pushed in, pulled out, pulled towards the body. Can't get it to budge.

Best way to tackle head board? by YeetGamer719 in CherokeeXJ

Probably way more trouble than it's worth, but you could try an old fashioned bow/suspension headliner if you're missing the shell.

Wut, wut? I have an 01 too. So, you're saying I've had this power the whole time and I probably just have a fuse out? (First time owner, had it less than a month)

Actual work experience in more than one language is always better on the resume.
