make shure u know what ur doing or ur xj will look like mine

 

Does anyone know of something that can be sprayed or attached to the roof to keep it from sweating if the headliner is removed? I pulled mine to put it in my DD (when it gets recovered), and dont care too much about putting my DD back in as Im going to do a lot of work mounting switches and lighting up there. Can I just spray adheasive and stick some cloth and have it stick? I spent ten minutes in it after taking it out to put the visors back in and it is obvious its going to start raining in there if I wheel itin the cold.

Id prefer not to have to mess with foil or shiny stuff.

Figured people mess with headliners with chops on this thread. Im sure this wont be an issue when I chop mine, but Im waiting til I roll once or twice as I have a four door and wont get as much useful space when I do it (compared to a two door. If I had a two door it would have been chopped right off the bat, not even a question).

 

I don't guess I understand your question? Are you refering to recovering the headliner? I used 3M Spray adhesive and it held up for about 3 years before it started sagging again. Tho, it started sagging again right after I took the doors off for good.

You have THAT much condensation on your roof? I've never had that issue.

Quit breathing so heavy...

 

Ah nice, I had a track meet there last year. Its not too close almost 3 hours by school bus. Hahah

 

Idk what it is about your jeep but that's one of the first 4 doors i've really liked. We need more pics.

 

That's because it's dark outside. I'll get some more up for ya eventually. I don't really have any good pictures of it in it's current state.

It's really no different than anyone else's chop other than it has a full interior cage.

Maybe these will help knock some sense into you.





Looks like crap if ya ask me. I can't stand how fat the *** end of it looks like this. The bumper sticks out way too far but I'm not too concerned about it until I get around to starting the next project.

Next project will be to make the rear look something like this. (With 4 link)


Minus the incredibly inboard shocks.

 

Still really don't look to bad. But it looks like you have a good plan ahead of you.

 

ugh, the original pics i posted of my jeep chopped on here look so embaressing now, figured id post an update



only difference is now its got a custom made tail gate, and long arms,,,,,and a tool box that goes into the quarter panel,,,,and if anyone is curious, yes, my period button is broken, and yes, the jeep is getting new axels(they are sitting in my garage at the moment woo)

 

LMAO! That's funny.

Did you let your keys have free time with your Jeep and a bunch of sharpie markers?

 

double post

 

You already said that.

 

you have moisture inside your jeep... mine did that, so i pulled to carpets and it stopped.

 

Just read the entire thread. Im pretty sure I'll have a chooped ZJ eventually once I retire her from DD

 

Just do it now. When people ask why your roof is missing tell them it blew off while you were driving down the road.

That's what I tell people anyways.

 

lol. I guess its basically like what the window does without the defroster on. Btw, lots of good threads about redoing headliner cloth. I did my overhead console for kicks and it was fairly easy. The second overhead console will get written up but will only be painted/bedlinered.

I would like to omit the headliner completely if possible. I actually like the look of the metal, but it occured to me that it was going to condense. As I said, just putting the visors bafk in and it was feeling clammy. Of course its cold, and a little damp for a winter here (desert, usually). And I dont figure on too much of an issue in the summer, but if I try sno wheeling Ill need to run a defroster!

I have read of others using some sort of tar and foil panels for sound deadening (something thats expensive, but I cant remember the name) as well as alternatives. I imagine the same foil/foam stuff Ive seen put up in steel buildings to keep them from condensing would work too, but I dont want shiny foil up there, and Id also prefer not to have painted foil overhead. Im considering using spray on bedliner, but I dont know if this will work or if it would cause issues if I ended up having to do one of the other methods.

If nothing else works and its an issue, i can put the other headliner back in, but it is crushed over the drivers side and would block access to wires (plan to put a lot of switches in the console).
