Let's keep on topic folks. This thread is for home brew mods, not discussing towing limits.

Removing headliner you can do on any year.... I did it with mine. What he was talking about was removing the material and glue from the plastic headliner. Our year have those crappy fiberglass/cardboard headliners.

With the headliner removed does the interior get really hot when the truck is left out in the sun?

It gets warmer than it does with the headliner. The headliner acts as thermal aswellas noise insulation. It also makes it colder in the winter.

the headliners in newer XJs are plastic? wow...did not know that. Might have to grab one of those instead of rehabbing my current one.
