It is pretty straight forward, but don't forget about the hidden bolts above both front doors. You will have to separate the little trim pieces to gain access o those guys.
FJ40 headliner recommendations?

@Green Bean That's what I was wondering! I could feel the bolt inside that piece but was hoping the steel would lift off with the top once you removed the small bolt at the windshield and the one visible screw at the B pillar. I'll check it out a little more to see how that comes apart. Thanks.
You are right. You can probably leave
The door header and rear header attached. Spray every bolt with PB Blaster, so when the bolts snap off, you can you tried. If and when they snap off, try visegrips on the underside first and work the broken bolt down instead of up. Hope you understand the directions. Last resort is to drill.
Good luck.

Anyone use a Cruiser Corps headliner recently. Much cheaper (with the free shipping) than CCOT. SOR is even more expensive.
Thank you..

My dealer cost is $553 for OEM. That is too expensive for me. Cruiser corps the cheapest, then ccot, then SOR.

I went with the OEM Toyota headliner 63311-90302. I figured since the rest of my FJ40 was original equipment I might as well keep the headliner OEM too. I found that the best price was with MegaZip from Japan. When I ordered a few months ago part was $272 and there was a discount code that brought it under $250....with shipping from Japan it was less than $300. It looks like price is still the same on megazip.com.....screen shot below.
I admit that I haven't installed it yet but I feel confident it will match the original that lasted for decades.

Headliner Opinions Needed
I have a top that I coated both sides with this Pic of inside Sorry for the large pics. Please tell me any experiences with no liner vs. headliner installed. Mainly noise reduction, ease of installation, and a vendor you would recommend. Muchas gracias

Well… having seen @GA Architect cruiser many times I know it is nice. Sound like it’s going to be the Cruiser Corps option for me

Changed my mind and went with SOR headliner since I was placing an order anyway.
A question for those who have researched and/or bought replacement headliners:
My impression from looking at photos is the OEM headliner is one piece, but the aftermarket replacements all have a seam in roughly the middle from side to side. Is that the case, or am I wrong?

I just got an email from SOR about a 40 year parts catalogue to include in an order if placed this weekend

The Cruiser Corps headliner installed for over six years.
Interesting that I just took both photos....depending on the angle, the color changes in the photos. In person, it looks more like the white in the first pic. I think the second pic, taken from the rear, has the glare off the beige hood washing out the white headliner.

Followup: Since I contributed to this thread, last fall I ordered a OEM headliner from Japan ($240 shipped IIRC) and just had it installed locally. I went to a high rent upholstery shop who ended up charging me 2x the estimate. Their work, however, is flawless. The Toyota product fit perfectly, as you'd expect.
After 35 years of headliners falling on my head (factory and aftermarket) I have reasonable hopes this one will stay put. Needless to say, it shines with OEM goodness. My rubber roof gasket is still solid and will be re-used.

Wow, good job looks great! I thought the OEM headliners had more of an off white color to them.
It isn't snow white, and I'm sure my OEM one (years back) was yellowed due to UV and age. Since this is the only one Toyota sells, it must be the correct color, right? 
The shop told me they had to fold in over in 9 dimensions and glue it down section by section. to be sure it was centered and glued down correctly. Gluing this down is not a job for amateurs, I fear, which is why I bit the bullet and let them do it. They said there was 1" of excess material at each of the sides, so there's little room for error. I also wanted them to use their pro-grade adhesive (sold by 3M only in 5 gallon pails) sprayed from a gun, rather than aerosol stuff.
