FJ40 Head Liner Options??

[Clyde-2]

Anyone out there ever replaced a headliner with something other than headliner material?
Am getting ready to tear out the sagging original and install (with the top in place) something else, just don't know what. Not going for an all original look, just functional.
Shag Carpet has already been suggested!!

I've seen a nice one that used the black short nap stuff they use on car audio equipment.

We did a nice one in a suade material from the fabric store, but it was in a pick up. I don't know if it would be subtle enough over a big area.

When I had my hardtop off I had torn out the old stuff and glued down some of that silver insulation (like you wrap around water heaters).

I then used some black filter cloth (I think that's what it's called) that my father in law had laying around, it turned out pretty well. I can try to wade thru the snow and get some pics if you're interested

Definitely interested, but don't get out the shovel on my account!!

Found an old picture of the work in progress. Crappy pics but you get the idea.

I did one with white Durabak that turned out great.

I replaced mine with the headliner from Cool Cruisers of Texas, but my friends have done it with carpet, not thick stuff but the thinner, higher traffic rug sort of stuff. Theirs turned out pretty decent, all that matters is how good you want it to look.

hey I've seen a couple with the roll on rhino liner that you can get from the store. It looks really good and you never have to worry about it comin off again.
