88swampedmj Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hey, it's been quite some time since I've been on here. I spent about two years without a Comanche, or a Jeep for that matter. Anyhow, I'm back in a Comanche, though I have no headliner or backer for it at all. Does anyone make the entire headliner? I heard of SMS headliners, but those seem to be kits to repair what you've already got. I'm trying to restore my 'manche back to be a very nice driver. I just need the headliner to complete the interior. Thanks, Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Really tough one. If you can't find an MJ in a yard with an intact headliner...or at least the backer...you might just have to fab something out of an XJ headliner. If that's even a possibility. The SMS headliner kit is just fabric and a can or two of glue. You can get the fabric at a fabric store (JoAnnes etc) for cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 What ParadiseMJ said basically. I've never had an MJ with a factory liner, so I've always just made my own using duct work bubble wrap insulation and headliner fabric from JoAnnes. Found out on my first one I did that the weaker 3M spray adhesive doesn't hold up to the temperature changes well and had to start using the stronger stuff. 77 or whatever it is.

88swampedmj Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Gotcha, thanks for the replies. I may try to make something, or just wait to find one out of a donor MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88swampedmj Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 I've heard great things about SMS, though I don't have the backer to work with. Does he happen to make the whole thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpace6a Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 SMS makes the whole thing, backer and all. Great guy to work with! Originally had a flaw in his design, fixed it and shipped the new ones out to everyone who had purchased a flawed one for free! I didnt even ask for a new one since i made mine fit, so it suprised me when a new one showed up on my front porch about 2 weeks later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHayduke Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I used the front of a XJ liner, trimmed until I liked the fit, then covered it in cheap Polar Fleece from JoAnn fabrics. Looks decent for the most part. picks on my build thead page 5. http://comancheclub.com/topic/37521-haydukes-operation-comanche-repower-88-to-98-swap/page-5 It looked perfect until I forced it to flex up to meet the XJ dome light I welded in. Then it creased a bit. In hind sight, I could have spaced the light down a inch and prevented this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
