Anyone have interior pics of headliners installed that either hide the cage window bars or blend them in nicely? My window bars need to be moved upward into the side channel to give more head clearance. Thanks

Stock headliner can't be used to cover bars unless you have it sewed special.

I guess I should have asked for custom headliner pics. I wasn't expecting a stock one to fit regardless of vehicle. Thanks. You have any examples Tracy?

I have taken a few I believe. I have an aftermarket headliner and a DSE cage, but it's the stock style I believe. I'll try and post up some photos tonight.

The bars are approximately 3/4" from the headliner at the closest point. I had to tape paper sheets to the headliner when I painted it and could barely get the (spray) paint up there.

I decided to do my headliner with the perforated aluminum because of the clearance issues with the headliner. You could also do one with foam board and velcro and the headliner kit material you can buy at most Pep Boy's or other auto parts places.

That is a great question, i have the same issue going on. I tucked my cage up to the roof as close a i could, i was told by all the off road guys that build the full cage trucks that they glue the hearliner in and wrap it around the cage and it looks real clean. I dont have any pics, nor have i seen it done, but i hope when i get to that point in my build it all comes together. Good luck, hopefully someone will show us some picts

definitely a question im interested in as well. would love to see some pics. and Fireboy68 what do those two aluminum cylinders on the package try do? those are the main supports right?

fireboy68 · #8 12-03-2010, 07:08 PM

Haha yes those are a much needed support cylinders. Good eye, thought nobody would see those.

Thanks for posting the picture. That sure is a tight cage. Unfortunately I refuse to take my roof panel off. Don't make me do

. Surely we can come up with some pics of a finished interior with a trickerie headliner. May have to go underground for this one.

Fireboy,

I dont want to be critical, but your cage will not pass an sanctioning body for racing. Its not a continuous main hoop and the rear supports look to have a splice.
