At first I thought you were making a joke, but it looks good!

I also used vinyl for durability, but am concerned with it acting like a vapor barrier, trapping moisture/condensation every time there is a temperature variation.

 

Hell yeah! Thanks I'll hit up some shops this week.

 

I scrubbed all the crappy old foam off and sprayed mine with about six coats of Duplicolor Bed Armor, haha

Try this. Foam backed for sound & heat. $51.
There is some great advise on this forum.
Do a search.

 

I use cheap fleece blankets too. I fond the glue does not bleed through as they are nice and thick.

 

I went to I think like Joan's fabric and got flese blanket material about 9'by 5' I think I can't remember off the top of my head. It cost about $20.get a can of 3m supper 77,i think it was about $10-$15.make sure you get at very least 80% coverage of both the Fiberglas sheet and your new fabric it might take 2cans. It will last for ever. I did mine mossy oak camo I also uplosterd the arm rest and sun visers with the same stuff.

 

Sooo, what if you don't even have the board/backing but just have the metal there? I was thinking of using the stuff they put on the underside of tin roofs that is a heat barrier and almost the same material as the sound deadening materials, then putting material onto that for a headliner.

Or I could just bedliner the whole ceiling.

 

Scrub all the foam off and leave it off. (:

 

Problem is I don't even have the panel, just the metal. With the summer coming I would rather have something than just bare metal. I do like the way yours looks tho.

 

A friend of mine has a really trick headliner made of 1/8" ABS sheeting in his Commando that he's been tinkering with. He says he only has about $60 in it and it looks good.

 

Go to the self-service junk yard and get one. You have no shortage of junk yards in your neck of the woods. I know there's a Pick-n-Pull and an LKQ in Dallas, maybe more than one. You can search Pick-n-Pull's vehicle inventory on Row52.com to see what's there before you waste a trip. Row52 usually posts pictures so you can see the exact vehicle.

 

x2 on the pick n pull. Covering the panel would be easier and probably turn out nicer.

Recovering mine in a black and grey plaid is on my list of stuff I'll get to one day lol. Maybe...

 

Walmart...Good selection on material.

 

Bed liner would get hot in summer and cold in winter. Maybe for a trail rig but a daily I'd go fabric if you don't have the board take one from a donor at a junkyard for a few bucks.

 

I did this in my last xj. Use lots of glue and take your time like previously posted and it will look great.
