Project Beast begins.

The headliner in this truck was a mess. Local shops wanted between $150 - $330 to do the job.

I hate paying someone else money for something I can do myself.

I have never done a headliner before. My automotive mechanical knowledge is some where between Fender Lizard ("Hold the light here....NO, HERE! Not where you're looking, where I AM looking!" -Thanks Dad) and neer-do-well Shade-tree Mechanic, in that I have enough skill to take something apart and most of the time reassemble it without extra parts lying around.

Most of the research I did regarding headliner removal and install was done by dudes with a lot of experience and thin on actual technique. So...a pictographical essay was in order.

Edit: You will note a distinct LACK of rear view mirror removal. Apparently the previous owner didn't see a need for one, as it was in the center console when I purchased it.

Very nice. I will be following your lead very soon. How about posting your fix and any tips on the install. The foam under the cloth is in poor shape on my 94. Does anyone know if anyone sells the cloth with foam attached? Or, should I look for a roll of new foam and use 3M spray adhesive.
