if you want the headliner look( the right way) there is no way around it take it down. You have to remove all the trim pieces. head to a chick fabric store and either get yourself new headliner material or a thick fabric. You will also need some heavy duty spray glue they sell it at the fabric store.

I just did mine last weekend along with an overhead console swap in.
I went with the military issue fabric.

I did the same as XJUSMC. Got my glue from auto zone. They have a glue designed just for headliners. Make sure you scrape all of the old foam off real good. Its really easy, just messy.

Listen to troth and rock the no headliner, looks B.A. and gives you an extra inch or two for us tall fellows.

bedliner is cool but i dont know about all the extra noise it will add without the soft sound dampening headliner, my jeep would make my head buzz like a bee everywhere i went. bedliner on the floor is sick though, with some custom drain holes... hose the whole jeep out :P the bedliner on the floor is my next splurge.
