I've seen tons of right ups on redoing your headliner but I've seen pictures of people going without headliner, is there any negatives to this? I love the look of it. Also has anyone ever seen a write up on this? Thanks!

X2 on the noise. I ran without one for over a year and got annoyed with it. Also when its hot outside it will get a lot hotter In your jeep. Just Redid mine a couple weeks ago. It was only about 40 bucks for the glue and felt I used. It's really simple.

When you say louder, you mean just road noise? I have 2 12s in the back and I've noticed n the outside it rattles and didn't know if it'll be that bad on the inside. Anyone know a place online with cheap but nice headliner material? Stock color is light tan

mine didn't have one at first it was blazing hot in the summer and freezing in the winter noise didn't bother me all that much, if you have a pick n pull near you a headliner is under $20

I noticed it was louder from wind. When I was driving or on windy days just sitting in the jeep. I didn't notice my sub giving any extra rattles though. Mostly just the heat and cold is more extreme. And I live in fresno where it gets 120 and down to the 30s

This should lead you to SMSheadliners on e-bay. If you want to re-do yours I have used these guys two or three times. For an XJ the price is around 40.00 and the material is a very good match to OEM. If you need extra material they will include that too.

I have 2 10s and it bounces like mad when I had mine out... The wind noise is louder than with out having it in ... The rain sound like hail hitting the roof... The temp I have noticed its harder to maintain... Mine took just under 3 yards to do all of it ... I got the realtree cammo patern in mine I did the headliner rear sound bar and both of my visors... Looks great I think and so does everyone that has seen it...

Thanks for all the tips, I'm thinking about redoing it, I live in nw ga and its already cold as h*** out. But I'm looking for something a little different rather than OEM. I like to stand out!

I'm in Georgia also, and my head liner is gone, I don't mind it but would like some camo up there, how do I re do it if the foam material is gone. I'm just riding with nothing at all up there. What should I do?
