My second love, Hayley
 
ok so here's the story about 2 weeks ago i bought a red 2 door jeep Cherokee sport 2wd(i know). shes my first jeep and i bought her with the intention of a DD and i had some thoughts of a couple of upgrades and mods but i was hit with the bug(i think i got it from one of guys :) )

this is what she looked like the day i got her

she wasn't the prettiest but i she was in pretty good shape i got her with 144k

she had a problem with the hatch not staying up so i took a trip to autozone and bought some after market lift supports

now i can work with out having to hold up the hatch

I'm a high school student with a more than limited budget so posts might be few and far apart.

i started with something that would not required much money so i went ahead and started working on the headliner, it is coming of and the padding was crumbling. I took off the rear over head speaker fiber glass thing and hit it with a hose then sanded and scraped what seems to be the POs attempt to fix it with hot glue(in Florida)

I'm about to do my headliner as well. What i've heard is that for the main piece, you just scrape off all the foam, give it a good sanding, and then start spraying the glue. The pre-existing glue on the board is nearly impossible to get off.

i just took it off and did it im waiting for tomorrow so i can take pictures and install it just take an old broom and sweep the **** out of it i did it outside and my neighbor thought it was funny but i did not reupholster it i sprayed it with truck bed liner it came out pretty nice IMHO
