Just sat back and enjoyed all ten videos. My son and I are doing the same thing with a 96 Cherokee. Project Okee. 3.5 rubicon express, track bar, same busted bolts on the rear shocks,end links, lower control arms, steering stabilizer which was causing our shimmy at 53 mph, our fair share of leaks including the high pressure line for the power steering, both automatic transmission cooler lines and the oil filter adapter. We went BFG 31" AT's on steel wheels just because steel will bend before it cracks unlike aluminum wheels. We had to do a headliner job, tune up, oil change and a neutral safety switch. thanks for the suggesting the bushing on the sway bar. Think I'll go get my son some. He's learning a lot form this project. I am enjoying teaching him everything I've learned back in my jeepin days with a 90 Wrangler. I did donate my high lift jack to his project and he has since been rear ended so the plan for a rear bumber upgrade just got bumped up. He is working hard and paying for most of this himself. Dad helps out some. Keep it up. Front and rear bumpers, winch, headlights and exhaust are in the future. His exhaust came with pin holes plugged with metal screws. Thanks for the videos. Ill subscribe. Seems our plans and repairs are mirroring each other. Happy Jeeping.
There is a lot to like about your videos, but watching you work with your kids is the best part. My best memories from growing up were made in the garage working with my dad (bicycles, race cars, motorcycles, etc.).
Enjoy watching your TH-cam. Just picked up a 1995 Jeep Cherokee xj and just took everything out of inside and going make me an overlander out of it and taking back seats out and try build pull out draws with solar panels. I waited until I was 63 to start but just started watching for a while now and it just looks like fun and looking forward to just get away. Even if I have to just go to a campground. Heck even if I have to set in driveway will be good to me. I'm in Ohio so it would be a long trip just to get out your way so starting out around here first. Keep up the good work and thanks for your service.
I appreciate the vid. I've been putting this off for years and it only took 30 minutes to pull it out. Removing the foam only took a couple minutes using a Makita wheel brush.
Great project for you and your sons. My son and I did his 2000 Nissan Xterra 4x4- some Maaco paint, new JDM motor, Bilstein shocks, Kenwood stereo and backup camera. He's been hitting the trails out here next to Lake Mead. Your boys appreciate this for sure.
You have my ut Most respect! And it is not your building skills I'm talking about (been a mechanic for 30 years now), it's your "dad" skills that I admire! Good parents create Good children! Well done dad. Well done...
Thanks for taking the time to video every part of your install! I'm gonna need to tackle this on our 2001.... this makes it much much easier to do seeing your steps.
That's awesome! I'm trying to buy either a Jeep Cherokee XJ or a Toyota 4Runner to build with my brothers and my dad!! I have been super inspired by your videos, especially the Baja Trip!!! We live in Baja and with work, school, life itself... we recently decided "You know what? We live in this beautiful place, we need to actually get out there and live Baja!" So hopefully that is sooner than later!
Great looking job on that headliner. It looks like what you would expect to see in a luxury car. I bet the interior of the XJ smells a whole lot better than it used to. lol!
Very nice. I've been preping my '99 XJ for a lift. I've recently replaced the radiator and front discs and calipers. I've replaced a few seals (to include the rear main which was not fun!) and will have my rear disc conversion delivered this week. I'd have a lift already but shipping to Southeast AK would cost my first born! Keep it up, can't wait to see the finished product!
Where's the xj at Brad been really enjoying the cherokee build to see your spin on the build process that isn't super wild and is a lot more down to earth and simple installs
Nice work!! I love the project so far and I'm excited to hear that magna flow exhaust🖒🖒 I had a 96 xj in the early 2000's and loved it. It had a rubicon express lift, 32x10.50's. and a cat back. I think it was a magna flow, but can't remember. But I do remember having tons of fun.
You guys did great! Easy to follow what was done.. You two had a lotta fun! I have my son here and my to help me redo my Headliner in my 1992 Jeep Cherokee.. I'm looking forward to working together and making mine look just as great.. THank you both! Fantastic! Xo
Just got a 99 Classic back in December, and really hope I can follow this and do my headliner. Was sagging when I bought it, but now is getting real bad.
☕Love your vids with you and your sons goodman... Keep up the great work. I'm currently working on my 05' chevy colorado essentially the same way. Currently underway to to rebuild my A.R.E. Topper to put back on my rig.... Anyways keep them vids coming bro!
I did the headliner to my jeep as well. I had some wrinkles I took a steamer with distilled water and that removed all the wrinkles after I installed it.
Hey guys! Love the vids, I myself own a 99 Cherokee Sport w/ a 4" lift that is a current build in process. I was really interested in this video because although my headliner is still in the Jeep, it's sagging something fierce! My question for you is what was the material you used for your headliner? Super classy and clean look and interested in doing the same. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Great videos! Just bought a 98 XJ myself with 198k on it for $1,600. You guys have been an awesome guide for what to get sorted out for my first XJ build as well. Where did you buy your headliner fabric?
I need a proper exhaust so darn bad! I currently have a banks torque tube running into a 2.5' pipe that dumbs right before my rear axle, it sounds great but the drone is crazy! I was thinking about a side exit right before the fender flare since i own a two door dont have to worry about people burning their legs getting out.
A side exit is a good option. I think we will have to do some modification because of the drop down shackle getting in the way... we'll see how it goes.
I normally only buy and build 97threw 99 XJ's just cause that's the best years in the newer xj body style and I've had about 4 the light blue there my favorite ones color wise I've lifted every one I've had an made good money off them I've owned over 30 newer body XJ's and lifted half them to make more money off them I just bought my first ZJ last week it's on my picture profile right now I'm make some videos today of it out
I have a 2000 Cherokee Sport in need of this update. Where did you buy the replacement fabric material? BTW, the Jeep was my Dad's. Driving it, working on it give me such a great feeling-- brings him back in a way. I wish he were around to help me work on it.
Great job!!! I just picked up a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.2L 318....I'm gradually repairing, replacing, and upgrading. The headliner is on my list to do. I just received a letter in the mail that my Jeep is part of a recall. Something about the fuel tank, rear bumper, and tow hitch. On my list was replace/repair ALOT of rust on rear bumper brackets, support, etc as well as put a stronger weld on the hitch......according to what I read the dealership has to replace bumper, brackets, fuel tank, hitch, bumper cover??? You know anything about the recall? Would be so awesome to have all that done free of charge! :-) I'm gonna watch more of your videos...I need a keyless entry module. One of previous owners removed it for some reason. I think it's called several different things (located behind dome light assembly). Thanks again for videos and I will keep watching!!!
My daughter and I have been working on her XJ (she just turned 16) for the last few months. I wanted to personalize her headliner with what she names her Jeep, but the factory head liner won't take the head needed to iron on fabric vinyl. Do you know the stuff you used can take the heat? Do you have any scraps left to test on?
How many yards of the headliner did you end up using? It looks like they sell in 3 yard increments. Did you order 6 yards total or just 3 yards? Thanks in advance!!
"I'm really proud of my son"... I felt that. Well done dad!
Father & Son jobs are the absolute BEST TIME EVER! Good job fellas. JeepWave from the559
Always good times in the garage with my boys! #jeepwave

So great to hear someone else doing a similar project with there son! Awesome! Thanks for subscribing and good luck with your build!

Thanks, we have a good time in the garage for sure!
I love watching the progress! Awesome Father / Son time too. Magna Flow stepped up and gave support! That says a lot about a company!
Thank you! Very happy to have Magnaflow onboard for this project for sure!
Great video! I’m fixing up my 94 Cherokee right now with my wife and this helped so much!

Awesome dad! What so many would give to have a father this amazing.

love magnaflow stoked for you guys, so great they reached out. you're going to live that setup
Thank you!!
I wish you were my dad!! lol well I'm going to take on this project with my twin brothers
You have my ut Most respect! And it is not your building skills I'm talking about (been a mechanic for 30 years now), it's your "dad" skills that I admire! Good parents create Good children! Well done dad. Well done...
Thank you sir!
The headliner looks great. Nice job !!! Father and son working on projects together is priceless !!!
Thanks for taking the time to video every part of your install! I'm gonna need to tackle this on our 2001.... this makes it much much easier to do seeing your steps.

So hopefully that is sooner than later!
I’m bout to do the same thing on my 2001. From this video I can see how much of a night and day difference a good headliner makes
Very cool life goals. My little one is 6 and look forward to times like these.
It's never too early to start! I remember turning wrenches with my dad on his old Ford when I was in kindergarten.
Looks great! That Magnaflow exhaust should be pretty awesome!
Thank you! Will be nice to have some stainless steel underneath.
YES THE DECALS!!! Been waiting forever! Keep up the great work!
Sorry it took so long. Thank you!
Great looking job on that headliner. It looks like what you would expect to see in a luxury car.
I bet the interior of the XJ smells a whole lot better than it used to. lol!
Oh it smells sooo much better! hahaha! Thanks!
That looks great! That is the spring project for us. Cool video series.
Thank you! Good luck with your project!
awesome job. this was the first "upgrade" I did to my jeep
Thanks! It's a great DIY upgrade.
Nice! Can't wait to hear that exhaust
We are excited to listen to her rumble as well! Thanks!
Looks great! I'm working on my 94 ZJ headliner now, so thanks for posting this helpful video!
Hahaha!!!! Master Chief didn't watch GI Joe back in the days with the PSAs, spraypainting the bike in the garage lol
I love the fact you can just go grab some fabric and put whatever you want on it!
Very nice. I've been preping my '99 XJ for a lift. I've recently replaced the radiator and front discs and calipers. I've replaced a few seals (to include the rear main which was not fun!) and will have my rear disc conversion delivered this week. I'd have a lift already but shipping to Southeast AK would cost my first born! Keep it up, can't wait to see the finished product!
A rear disc conversion is a great upgrade we may do down the road. We'll see when the desert heat kicks in if our radiator will keep us cool. Thanks!
Where's the xj at Brad been really enjoying the cherokee build to see your spin on the build process that isn't super wild and is a lot more down to earth and simple installs
All looks familiar.. Good job with the headliner. Waitin' for the next one. Thanks for the video.
Bob/XJ'92/Okc
Thank you, appreciate it!
By the way, that headliner looks great.
That really turned out great.
We are happy with it, thank you!
Thanks for your service, chief.
I'm so glad I found this series! Hopefully I'll have my 2001 jeep Cherokee in a few months and I'll be able to work on its headliner lol.
Headliner looks great guys! I need to do mine soon. Excited to see the Magnaflow install.
Thanks! We are excited to see how the Magnaflow sounds!
I love this guys energy
Just want to say thanks for the video in how to install the headliner it came out great on my jeep.. thank you so much..
just noticed the chief poster on the wall. Hooyah Brother!
Hooyah! 26 year HMCM and just retired last year.
Nice work!! I love the project so far and I'm excited to hear that magna flow exhaust🖒🖒 I had a 96 xj in the early 2000's and loved it. It had a rubicon express lift, 32x10.50's. and a cat back. I think it was a magna flow, but can't remember. But I do remember having tons of fun.
We can't wait to hear the exhaust ourselves! Your XJ sounds like it was well built!
loving the build so far looking sick.
Thank you!
Another great video. Looking forward to the next one already.
Thank you, really appreciate it!
You guys did great! Easy to follow what was done.. You two had a lotta fun! I have my son here and my to help me redo my Headliner in my 1992 Jeep Cherokee.. I'm looking forward to working together and making mine look just as great.. THank you both! Fantastic! Xo

Thank you! It's a great cheap project.
Great series and great install.
Thanks for checking it out, really appreciate it!
Sweet
Quality Time
I just purchased the Napier v2 flares for my Comanche, they went on very nice! Highly suggest them!
Thanks for the recommendation, appreciate it!
Just got a 99 Classic back in December, and really hope I can follow this and do my headliner. Was sagging when I bought it, but now is getting real bad.
Turned out great. I absolutely love that XJ, awesome build!
Waiting eagerly for the update on xj
Just posted a new video last week... did you get a chance to check it out? th-cam.com/video/3KJUlXVKrS0/w-d-xo.html
Love the XJ project 👍👍👍
replace all those little interior bulbs with some nice bright LED 👍 love em' in my '99
Excellent suggestion, thank you!
You guys did a great job on that headliner. Looks great.
Thank you!
Great videos very helpful! Have the same headliner issue so this really helps thanks
☕Love your vids with you and your sons goodman... Keep up the great work. I'm currently working on my 05' chevy colorado essentially the same way. Currently underway to to rebuild my A.R.E. Topper to put back on my rig.... Anyways keep them vids coming bro!
An overland Colorado sounds like a very cool project! More videos to come. Thank you!
I’m new to the channel and this is a great video!! I just got an xj and I will be doing the same thing. Thanks for keeping it honest.
I did the headliner to my jeep as well. I had some wrinkles I took a steamer with distilled water and that removed all the wrinkles after I installed it.
Looks good!
Thank you!
Nice job! Looks good
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. sooo helpful im going to do my xj's headliner this week
Hey guys! Love the vids, I myself own a 99 Cherokee Sport w/ a 4" lift that is a current build in process. I was really interested in this video because although my headliner is still in the Jeep, it's sagging something fierce!
My question for you is what was the material you used for your headliner? Super classy and clean look and interested in doing the same. Thanks and keep up the great work!
You haven't got a reply in the 3 years since you asked the question?
I'm watching the wrong channel.
Looks amazing
another great video!
Thank you!
That wire brush on the headliner was so satisfying to watch... I'm sure it wasn't satisfying to do, though! Bleh!!! Shop vac to the rescue!
Great videos! Just bought a 98 XJ myself with 198k on it for $1,600. You guys have been an awesome guide for what to get sorted out for my first XJ build as well. Where did you buy your headliner fabric?
Great video. Making me consider doing this myself instead of taking it to a shop!
Great Build!!
Hope that wasn't sagging a few days later. I'll be using a brush-on adhesive.
This is actually my first project I have for my 99 cherokee. If you don’t mind me asking, about how much fabric did you need for the headliner?
Go with the Napier flat flares not bushwackers
Jeffrey Dean i second that
Giving them a serious consideration. What do you like best about them vs. the Bushwackers?
TrailRecon they are way thicker, mount higher for more room and as far as install goes I think the Napier were a little better than bushwacker too
TrailRecon I have had and installed both so that's how I got my preference
Excellent, thank you for the info... very helpful!
I need a proper exhaust so darn bad! I currently have a banks torque tube running into a 2.5' pipe that dumbs right before my rear axle, it sounds great but the drone is crazy! I was thinking about a side exit right before the fender flare since i own a two door dont have to worry about people burning their legs getting out.
A side exit is a good option. I think we will have to do some modification because of the drop down shackle getting in the way... we'll see how it goes.
I have a quarter panel dump on my max and its absolutely miserable sometimes. I'd say try it but its gonna drone BAD on the passenger side
I normally only buy and build 97threw 99 XJ's just cause that's the best years in the newer xj body style and I've had about 4 the light blue there my favorite ones color wise I've lifted every one I've had an made good money off them I've owned over 30 newer body XJ's and lifted half them to make more money off them I just bought my first ZJ last week it's on my picture profile right now I'm make some videos today of it out
Did mine too. Wrinkles same spots by rear speakers
Nice work guys. Me, I would been wearing a face mask while scraping.
just started doing this on my 99 cherokee pain in the ass for a lot of the screws
I have a 2000 Cherokee Sport in need of this update. Where did you buy the replacement fabric material?
BTW, the Jeep was my Dad's. Driving it, working on it give me such a great feeling-- brings him back in a way. I wish he were around to help me work on it.
just found your channel. love the build. im looking at getting a cherokee myself as a third vehicle/woods/camping rig/dog transporter lol.
Where can you get a replacement backing board? All i got is metal 😂
Great job!!! I just picked up a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.2L 318....I'm gradually repairing, replacing, and upgrading. The headliner is on my list to do. I just received a letter in the mail that my Jeep is part of a recall. Something about the fuel tank, rear bumper, and tow hitch.

Im doing mines and replacing the speakers and adding 2 more for the total of 4 6" mids
What kind of headliner did you guys use that looks great!
Nice job guys!!! L:ooks great!
Thank you!
What fabric and adhesive did you use brad? Need to look mine yours looks great.
JUST ONE QUESTION. WHERE ELSE CAN I FIND THE FABRIC YOU USED???????? BECAUSE THE ONE WHERE U GOT IT FROM THEY DONT HAVE IT ANYMORE
Does your headliner have foam or is just the fabric? Great video thank you for slowing us your technique.
It has a foam backing to it. Thanks!
كفو عليك
good job 👏🏽
great video!
Thank you!
My daughter and I have been working on her XJ (she just turned 16) for the last few months. I wanted to personalize her headliner with what she names her Jeep, but the factory head liner won't take the head needed to iron on fabric vinyl.
Do you know the stuff you used can take the heat? Do you have any scraps left to test on?
the headliner looks great! and yes, that foam SUCKS! its gummy and sticks to everything, especially hair
I think we will be cleaning up that foam for days to come! Thanks!
How many yards of the headliner did you end up using? It looks like they sell in 3 yard increments. Did you order 6 yards total or just 3 yards? Thanks in advance!!
