The poll is closed I think, but wanted to let everyone know what happened.
Spent the last couple of days stripping all the lights and drilling out like 100 rivets to remove the diamond plate chrome trim (What a PITA). Scraped all the stickers and reflectors off, removed the winch, emptied all the crap out of the utility box, then power washed it twice.
I dropped it off at a friends shop yesterday afternoon for paint. Twas a bit nervous pulling it with no working lights, but pulled it off with out a problem. Should have it back this weekend for re-assembly.....chickened out on doing it ourselves :newb:
Thanks everyone for your input =D>
