And to those do-it-yourselfers out there like me... I don't EVER recommend doing the headliner in an Xj!!! It was definitely the WORST thing I have had to do to my jeep yet! The fiberglass the material is glued to breaks extremely easily and is a pain to get in and out of the vehicle, it takes a long time, and the fiberglass get all over you And causes you to itch and ruins you cloths! Not trying to crush anyone's hopes but really man, save yourself the time and trouble and pay the extra $50 to get someone else to do it! O.o

Nice to know. Lol Yeah, but it really looks better and seems more like the original headliner. I would still use the foam backed even if you don't really need to.

Ok, so here's what I plan to do, once I paint it I'm going to get a ladder for the back, a tire mount, a 3" suspension lift, roof rack, wheel spacers, brush guard, lights, super swamper mud tires and winch! Anyone have any other suggestions while I'm at it? Lol

He used an actual grenade from an army surplus store. But they sell actual grenade shifters at auto zone... I'm not sure if I should do it his way or just buy a shifter and try that way?...

Hey,

If your going to paint.. Try the Krylon Satin Italian Olive, looks real nice and no streaking. I was really surprised how good it looked when it was all done.

Heres a pic of mine the day it was painted...
