Yes, it is the original to the vehicle headliner. I removed the old covering and glue. It was easy. The hard part was removing the dried glue from the console and sound bar plastic shells. I have all the liner materials to do the covering myself and will begin when I fix the rust near the liftgate.
That is good. The overhead I have is from a '99 going in my '00. Not exactly plug and play but close. Have repin one connector and use the lighted visors from the '99 to make it plug and play there. If I did not have them I would have had to use the ones from my '00. I would have to do a little rigging to get them to work.

A few things I'm looking at doing is installing a factory cargo cover and the mounting brackets. My XJ did not have it but I do have a complete set up to install it. I also have a bumper mounted OEM spare tire carrier with all the mounting hardware I am considering installing. I'll make a decision on those things after I get the rust repaired and the headliner back in. My XJ is a bone stock 96 Country. Only mod is tires, 235's instead of stock 225's.
I am trying to figure out how nuts I want to go. I am putting some Dynamat in the roof just because I am there doing the overhead. I also want to get the factory privacy glass cargo bay window installed. Part of what had to be removed is what needed to come off to do the overhead. The rest just to do that. So I figure throw some Dynamat in the wheel wells too. Really want to gut the Jeep, do some housekeeping, maybe some POR 15'ing if necessary, lay down some sound deadening material and foam. I mean I am a third of the way there just having to do the cargo bay windows and the overhead. Seems a shame to do just that, put it back together, just to tear it apart at a later date.
Trying to chase down a P1698, P1687 and P1686 in a M/Y 2000 GC. Any experienced debuggers out there willing to share their findings? PM to me please...
In the process of removing a section of sidewalk for a gas meter installation, been loading the pieces into the back of the Cherokee to take it to the landfill. The bastard packs I built last year are the bomb!
She sure does clean up nice. Finally got around to cleaning the exterior/interior after a couple trips out to CO and UT this Summer. Almost felt sacrilegious washing off all that dirt.
Gorgeous Jeep, man!

So I got the passenger side cargo bay privacy glass window in. Used the rope trick. Somebody recommended 3/16" rope so that is what I used. Extra set of hands probably would have helped but managed to get it done. When I took the glass from the boneyard Jeep I used screwdrivers to fold over the rubber from the inside to be able to push it out. Made me nervous. I invested in the door molding removal kit to use instead of screwdrivers for getting mine out. Plus the rope trick was not as easy as it looked, at least for me anyway, so I helped it a little with the kit. All in all glad I did this instead of getting those crappy tints removed and replaced. On to the driver's side.
That kit, even if all I ever use it for was to do these windows, was worth every penny of the $15 it cost me. Driver's side is now done. What to do next?
ehh, doesnt work as well as id like, plus if i shut it off and turn it back on the, itll kick ithe compressor on for 2-3 seconds then shut off, plus it gets warm standing still even with the main fan on high and the aux fan running
i think i need a new expansion valve/ evaporator and maybe another drier since the system was open a lot
Sucks. I'm wondering if I should ever hook mine back up, haven't had it in a couple of years, and this summer has been brutal. Heatwave starting again this week, as of today...looking to be 109* for several days, with+100* temps forecast for at least the next 7 days...
Got the Dynamat on the roof. Thinking about calling it a day. All that rolling out the Dynamat beat me up pretty good. Worst part is there really is not that much up there. But then again my shoulders are not in the best of shape.

Are you going to add some insulation while you're up there?
Your jeep is the same color as mine... I secretly wish my paint looked that good, haha
Clear coat sucks sweaty man *****.
That said, I don't care when it gets scratched, but, I've been tossing around several ideas for aesthetics.
Not looking for a stellar paint job, it gets used...so I've toyed with ideas of satins, flats, liners...I am heavily leaning towards liner, so it can take the hits, without too much carnage...thinking a base layer of a sand type color, to keep it neutral. Then I can do a spray over that, in a camo pattern of some such...I dunno. There's also some work I wanna do before all that anyways, so it's a pipe dream at the moment...
But I really hate the peeling clear coat. Might just sand all that down and primer it black...
