Cheap and easy headliner fix

[D Chapman]

The gauges are all from Glowshift. It's oil pressure, water temp, and volts. The pod is a universal pod from glowshift as well, but I did modify it slightly to route the wires as discreetly as possible. Because I was re-doing my entire headliner in black I thought that would be a good place to mount them. As anyone that has tried to add gauges to one of these trucks can attest, there is no ideal solution. I also built a wiring harness for the gauges using a 5-pin connector, that way if I have to take the overhead console out or remove the headliner again for some purpose I can simply unplug the gauges all at once and then just as easily reconnect them when the time comes.

LOL. I guess this was too complicated for this hack.

Scangauge is great, but still won't tell you oil pressure. That leaves you with the dilemma of where to put the oil pressure gauge. Also, I rather like having a separate sending unit for the auxiliary temp gauge.

BTW, thanks for clearance.

Bryce, good work. The nay sayers can sniff your exhaust fumes. Part of fixing your truck is making it the way you want it, not to satisfy other's opinions. I'm going to rip out my headliner and paint it as well, I don't want any of that saggy gay cloth shit.

Yea those are really nifty.The headliner looks cool too.I just painted mine cuz I'm a cheap hack fuck.

i'm such a cheap hack fuck that im going to flat black my whole truck with 24 cans of 98 cent wal-mart spray paint. CHEAP HACK FUCK FOR THE WIN!

I love it when people post things on the internet and then get their feelings hurt when everyone doesn't love it.

Opinions vary. Some will think your shit is hack, white trash garbage. Others will think your shit is the shit.

Good point but I think the reaction was more to the personal attack. No reason for that...

You can dislike something without telling the person that they are a "cheap hack".

On subject - I like the painted headliner. The trick, I think, is to find the right paint that can be wiped off easily. A cloth headliner will only withstand so much cleaning before it starts to fray.

Either way, it's shit.

It's the other way. Calling someone cheap hack usually doesn't hurt anyone. But I do some cool shit to my Disco, then post it on the internet, thinking it's some hot shit, only to find out people don't like it... THAT is the painful part.

No way am I spending over $100 to fix the sagging headliner of my 165k mile 98 Disco that is really starting to rust everywhere. Personally, even if I sold it tomorrow, the buyer would not give a shit about a nice new headliner compared to the rust everywhere. My truck is past the "what it looks like" stage and has entered the "trail truck" stage. In my situation, spending $120 on a headliner versus spending the money on something like a diff guard is a no-brainer.

I have never bought a car and said "wow, that headliner looks great". No one cares unless they are hanging down.

Truth is, this is a personal preference thing.

Given the choice, which would you prefer? a Disco with a nice headliner or one with saggy headliner?

Either way, it's shit.

So is the rover headliner. It's a horse a piece(of shit if you will).

Whatever that means, yes.

There is a right way to do something, and a wrong way. Adding an ARB bumper to a truck rather than a TJM is personal preference. Removing the stock bumper and installing a pressure treated 2x6 is what cheapfucks and hacks do.

It's no different with the headliner. It's cheap to fix correctly. Fixing the headliner correctly cost less than 2-tanks of gasoline. Anyone who does not fix their headliner correctly is either a cheapfuck or a hack.

Spoken like a true warrior.
Except this. Sorry can't get this picture out fo my head since seeing it in another thread recently.http://www.discoweb.org/41704archive/DiscusArchive/messages/17/25052.html

I'll see your cheap fuck and raise you no headliner at all.

Cheers,
