How does the install go? Basically 3M fabric adhesive and cut as you go?
One half of the fabric at a time, 2 cans total. Warm day, press that sucker on and smooth it out. cut the excess flush with the edge and all the necessary holes for lights.

Installed my hitch last summer, but left the wire harness in my toolbox. Went ahead and installed it so I can borrow my friend's little fishing boat to take my daughter fishing.

I should mention, thats for actual headliner fabric, or materials that wont allow the moisture in the adhesive to go all the way through. Even with headliner fabric if you lay it on too heavy, like a big ol glob in one spot, it will show through, and get onto your hands when you press it in which leads to more problems if you ignore it. I had a buddy do a fleece camo blanket for headliner. It came out well, but he had to use significantly less adhesive. Im sure with vinyl its a no brainer because you dont have to worry about what I just mentioned. (I mean no offense to the fella who just posted up, it looks great). Also, the adhesive needs to cure before you actually press the fabric to it (which should also have a layer of adhesive on it) it should be tacky, not wet, to the touch.

For the next month it's going on the roof of my trail Jeep. Then, when I get back from the Crawl it's going on the roof of the DD Jeep.

Maybe Wrangler Gamblers, but what's worse than those?

Not bad. Actually curious how roof mount LED bars do with light output seen some good ones but those were over $300

Well the Jeep is purring like a kitten.

I swapped the IAC & TPS before the last trip, last night I swapped in a new MAP sensor. Also installed a new oil sending unit, details in the build thread.
