Well I picked this beauty up for $25 at a local you pick yard. My XJ is about as basic as they come (except it has power mirrors?), So I am getting it to my liking. I'll tell you what, scraping the foam from the headliner fabric sucked.



And I cracked it taking it out of the donor XJ so I had to fiberglass the cracks.



Then I had the pleasure of scraping all of the headliner foam off.
Part way done:


Finished up with a Scotch brite pad:


I was hoping I could just paint it, but once I get the speakers and know how they fit or if it will need trimming, I think I am going to cover it with fabric.

Sorry about the messy shop, Apparently my dad has been building stuff (like that rocking chair)

took me a couple hours to pull all the the crap off that was under the fuzzy stuff lol, it does look better once its painted though

how are you wiring the speakers? I've been looking to install rear speakers in my jeep as well. when i installed my new head unit i wired the rear speaker wires that were there but where do those wires go?

ShadowWalker

I saw there were wires on the harness for the rear speakers. I am hoping they are ran underneath the drivers side trim in the rear just infront of the hatch. I haven't pulled the trim yet to see. Its been too cold to do much outside, and I am usually working on the decent days.

Oh, and after looking at this again, apparently there is still a layer of glue on there that needs to b sanded off if I paint it.
