It's a cheap set up. Basically for trails. It just needs hooked up better. I just threw something together for the cig lighter to make it work.

.....tune it or you might blow it up. I have an swr meter and patch cable some where

That and the fawkers i wheel with never tune there junk and communication is terrible. Sometimes I can't hear them/they can't hear me from 3 Riggs back in line. But it's always scratchy and hard to understand. If they were tuned, would be no problem

It's a $30 cb with a $15 antenna. You can just deal with it cause all I can adjust is squelch.

How do you guys think this would turn out? Cause I don't know what an xj headliner looks like underneath the fabric. This is just an idea, but I think it could work.

Remove the old fabric and foam, and paint it with that flex-seal crap you see on the commercials. You can buy it at walmart, and I heard it's actually does a good job. So what if I were to take my time and actually paint my headliner instead of replacing the foam and fabric? It'll be worth it to me as it's my only vehicle and I want it to be multi functional as a trail/daily driver vehicle. I can keep the stock look, but make it custom and easier to clean/maintain.

On my 96 the headliner backing is fiberglass mat. 1/2" thick.
It's absorbent and the amount of product needed to seal it and give it a smooth surface would add too much weight.
I think it would be easier to recover it with fabric.
I used vinyl but if I had to do it again would use foam backed fabric.

I thought u had carbon fiber on your headliner? That's what I remember seeing

SteveMongr

Hi Neal,
Yes, it's fabric backed vinyl that looks and feels like carbon fiber. I posted 2 pictures. Do you not see them on the app?

XJwonders

Sorry it was hard to see but I took a second look and recognized it.

McGeeXJ

Yeah see I wasn't sure what the actual headliner was made out of. I might be willing to do it still. I'm just looking for something durable to cover the stock headliner with. Plus I could just clean it with water.

SteveMongr

Maybe you want vinyl, the stuff I used is tough, thick and waterproof.

Where did you get that vinyl? I seem to be finding it in smaller pieces.

I'm more excited about this!

The full size piece (100"x54" or 60") I got from 'Heads Up'
A smaller one (72x54) from J.C. Whitney.
I used carpet adhesive to glue it on since that is my trade.
A quality, permanent spray adhesive should work also. Spray both headliner and vinyl. Do not use contact cement, it is absorbed by both sides and will require too many applications.
This carbon vinyl fabric is not to be confused with adhesive backed carbon vinyl. The adhesive back is paper thin and for hard surfaces. The cloth is 1mm thick and has a fabric backing. Can be found at large fabric shops too.
Here is a pic of the adhesive back I used on dash and interior trim.
