sounds like a lot of work LOl
consider doing a full write up and post all picsof removal and installation
consider installing a sound deadener like DYNAMAT either their sheets or a spray/paint on type.
GOOD LUCK!

Headliner is a piece of cake....Though you have to be careful not to kink it or you may see an ugly line after you reinstall. Also if you have lighted mirrors on the visors you have to carefully pull the wire out and unplug it. All in all, clean hands and a careful removel will mean success. Remember to water test the cab lights also, Mine have been known to leak now and then and they were factory installed.

Definitly do the Fat-Mat or Dynamat while your in there. To do the Headliner is probably about $40.I did my doors and Firewall/engine Bay on the inside over the Turbo, Made a big differenc. Next is the Headliner and floor. >Let us know how difficult or easy it wasto remove. Country

Well mine is a crew cab, and I plan on installing the lights and Fat Mat here in the next couple of days. I have already done the doors and the front half of the floor. I am going to gut everything this time, put in the lights, and run FatMat all around. I have 200sqft of it sitting ready to go. I am anxious to do the headliner area as i think that will make a huge difference in sound level in the cab. The only sound level in the cab I want to hear is what is on the stereo.

Maybe a foolish question, but how do I take the front of the headliner down to access the clearance light mounts?
Pull "A" post trim and then what? Just pull down on the front edge?
I'd hate to mess something up as part of the learning process

You'll need to remove all the visor hardware and if you have a center console display in there, you'll need to remove it as well. there are two push lock tabs that will need to be pried out, I used an 8mm wrench and a screwdriver handle for the leverage and they just popped out. Just make sure they are clean, otherwise you'll leave prints on the head liner. I'd also pull the center dome light, the weather stripping on the doors will be enough to hold the liner. Depending on how much space is needed, you might just pull the entire thing and work around it as to not put an accidental crease in it.
