Mnh88xj Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Does anybody know, or has anyone at least tried to cut down a Cherokee xj headliner to fit in a Comanche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Does anybody know, or has anyone at least tried to cut down a Cherokee xj headliner to fit in a Comanche?I have one cut down in mine. Only problem is that it doesn't cover the back of the cab properly. I cut the fiberglass shorter than the cloth and wrapped it around the back to give a clean edge. It does sit a little lower than the MJ one so if you are tall it may be a problem. I'm 6'4" and on my taller bucket seats my head just barely contacts the ceiling but it works really well.

Mnh88xj Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try, even if I have to jimmy-rig the back, it can't look worse than the lack of any headliner I have now.. What about putting the Cherokee rear speaker bar across there? Or would that hang to low?... Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If yoh have a speaker bar, try it. I have one I was going to put in my XJ, but I might toss it in the MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The speaker bar can be installed in the truck. There are a few build threads where people mounted it above the seats. Some have said it does sit a little low but if you are short enough or have shorter seats, it isn't a problem. I just recently saw one here somewhere they had mounted it across the front of the truck just behind the visors. I'll see if I can find that picture/thread. I believe there are also some people who have mounted the XJ soundbar across the backer-board behind the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalBman Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 This is my Shortened XJ headliner so far. I'm 5'9" on a good day. About two inches of clearance even with my XJ limited seats that sit up pretty high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnh88xj Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks for the replies, I like the looks of the 97-01 with the overhead console.. Unfortunately, I have the 94-ish speaker bar.. But we'll try it, I should be short enough to have head clearance even tho I'm using the limited seats also:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waytard22 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I put a speaker bar up front. Doesn't block my view at all and don't have to worry about head clearance. Still need to make a headliner to cover it all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
