I used rustoleum spray on bedliner for mine when I did my head liner black and I love the way they turned out. Little things make huge differences.

What glue/adhesive did you use for the headliner? And what kind of cloth?

I used Super 77 Adhesive
Amazon.com: 3M 21210 Super 77 Spray Adhesive: Automotive Amazon.com: 3M 21210 Super 77 Spray Adhesive: Automotive


This is the fabric I purchased:
Amazon.com: Winter Fleece Buffalo Plaid Red Fabric Amazon.com: Winter Fleece Buffalo Plaid Red Fabric


Best if you use a fleece or felt material, but any fabric will work


I followed Matt from BleepinJeep.com's Videos
- Headliner recovering
- Sun visor recovering

Default Punisher hood decal


Bad installation, windy, ended up with bubbles in spots.
Before anyone asks, yes I used soapy water and an applicator squeegee.

Oh well its a jeep.

Honestly there aren't too many bubbles so I won't bother with it right now.
Thanks for the tip man.

The decal only cost me $15 shipped so if I decide to redo it in the future no big exspense.

You don't want to puncture vinyl. It'll allow contaminants under it and it won't stick. The bubbles will smooth out in the sun and with a little TLC. Looks good, hoping to see it on my way to work tomorrow! Lol

Default New Alternator Charging Cable


After rearranging/installing my new battery isolator and cables, I was left with a alternator cable that was barely 10 GA. So I upgraded to 4 GA same as the others.



Much better, crimped and heat shrunk.

Default More wiring gremlins


Passenger rear taillight connector was corroded due to the gaping hole in the floor.
Since it was fixed a while back, there has been no more water, but the connectors have corroded.


I simply removed the OEM connector and rewired it to use bullet-style connectors.

Those connectors will be worse than the original connector.. I would at least use dielectric grease in them to help keep moisture out. Whatever you do, don't wrap the wires with electrical tape, it'll corrode faster than you can imagine!
