Sounds like a service writer that's full of shit or sucks at his job explaining or trying to explain away the real issue. Fuck that shit. I wouldn't pay another dime, let alone what she has already paid. sounds super fishy all the way around. On a related note, my dog has been diagnosed with "loose knees", which sounds like the same kind of bullshit diagnosis. I think I'm going to trade her bitch ass in before I have to replace them. My advice, take it the fuck out of Newark and into the known universe for further diagnosis.

Yeah, it's not very "rugged" to take a glow-in-the-dark star to the eye. :dumb:

Perhaps. I could also stick a little cutout of Morgan Freeman or Stephen Hawking in the corner.

I'm not sure they'd stick but I like this line of thinking.

When I was shopping for fabric I had selected a ream of brown shag carpet stuff but decided that was going too far. At least this has a sort of rugged look. It's Jeep 5 o'clock shadow. :dumb:

It's not supposed to be pretty. I don't mind it. If I were to do it over again I may have tried the cloth or just took it to someone who knows what they're doing. Oh well. The smell has dissipated more. I think it'll be gone in a couple more days.

Yeah. It's an oddly optioned Limited, but in exactly the way I wanted. - No ABS, which means it has a 29 spline 8.25 instead of the Dana 35 - Selec-Trac transfer case - 2WD, Part-Time and Full-Time 4x4 - It has no overhead console - has heated leather seats - 16" Alloys - Tow package, which is really just a hitch with a built-in dual-function plug and is prewired for a trailer brake controller And now it has this SWEET custom headliner... :gabe:

I actually don't mind the contrast of the black and tan. I thought I'd like the textured look better than smooth, but really I'm not sure I like either texture any better/worse. I'm definitely not going to bother painting this tan to match.

Pussy. J/K :dumb: I have a giant ream of Tan colored Faux Suede I'd make you a deal on. It was actually plan A for me too.

Yeah, I waited 24 hours to reinstall and all 4 windows are cracked now. I have vent visors, so they are cracked most of the time anyway. Overall the look is growing on me. Just waiting to see what happens to the smell. :no:

I reinstalled the headliner today. It still has a faint odor, though it's noticeably less than yesterday. I never realized how ridiculously hot the inside of the roof gets when it's sitting in the sun (it's black). SO, naturally after it has been in the sun for a while I notice the smell a bit more but so far it's not too bad. I hear it takes a few days for the smell to totally "cure out". I'll update in a few days.

:fa:

I have a 24 x 24 2-car (extra deep) and it's pretty nice. Ideally I would like to have a 3-car so that my Jeep doesn't have to sit out in the winter, but otherwise it has worked out perfectly for me. I have plenty of room along the back wall for a workbench and tons of storage shelves and cabinets but I can still easily fit 2 motorcycles in front and 2 cars behind with room to spare for mowers and such. It seems you're limited to a 2 car most likely, so see if you can get into a deeper garage if you can. It's a pretty good compromise. Better still - buy my house! :gabe:

I'm not sure if the Grand Cherokee uses the same rigid fiberglass backing plate, but it probably does. As long as you get all traces of the gay foam off the backing board you can either use the bedliner stuff or headliner adhesive and the fabric of your choosing. I'm not sure if the soundbars in the GC are the same either, but in my Cherokee the speaker pods are molded into the backing board and there's an additional plastic tray that goes behind that, which is what the speakers actually screw into. I just ave two basic Pioneer 6.5" speakers in the pods. Some of the late 90's Cherokees has a separate board that held the speakers in that early Cherokee owners often swap in to theirs to replace the hatch speakers.

I was worried about the contours around the speakers and stuff. I guess it probably wouldn't have looked any worse even if I jacked it up a little. I'm considering painting over the black with tan but I don't know. I'll probably just try it out for a while and go from there.

That's the only thing that worries me. I don't care much about looks in this case. It has been done before and there are mixed reviews on smell. Some say they don't smell it at all and others say you can always smell it.

Me too. It's just a Jeep though. The nice thing about the Duplicolor brand stuff is that it's paintable. I could match my tan interior but it's part black already. I'll probably just leave it.

The headliner on the Cherokee has started to sag and the one on my Wife's Saturn is totally shot, so that was this weekend's project. I stripped the headliner panel, which is a rigid piece of fiberglass, and scrubbed off all the failed foam. I bought some awesome suede fabric to put on but after upholstering the wife's headliner (the one that needs it the most) I decided f that noise. I'm okay with mechanical stuff usually but I fucking suck as an upholsterer. So, for less than the cost of the cloth I bought it's now covered in ultra-durable ultra-awesome rubber.

Conventional wisdom seems to be that you should buy a bike you don't care about to learn on and then sell it when you're ready to upgrade. I think if you're a responsible person and ride within your limits you might as well go for a bike you actually like. My Buell XB12R was my first bike and I never had any issues. A newer bike is porbably less likely to have issues that could potentially be a safety hazard. I think if I had bought a shitty bike or a severely underpowered one I wouldn't have had as much fun.

This is why I immediately switched to iCloud sync on iOS5 and turned on OTA updates. I hate the iTunes update process. It should have been this way all along.

Also, once you're approved for a home loan - buy my house! :gabe:

I'm certainly no pro on the banking part but I can tell you a friend of mine worked as a contractor, similar to what I'm doing now but his tax guy had him set up an LLC with its own bank account so that he can pay himself out of that account and any "business" withdraws have no reflection on his personal situation. I think it also works out better for tax purposes but I don't recall why. Your best bet is to sit down with a pro. This is my first year, so I may regret doing a SP over an LLC when tax time comes. At least in my case there are no expenses coming out, only deposits.
