I'm going to be freshening up my newly acquired 4x4 Big Bear & thought I would document it here.

Here are a few shots from when I brought it home:






And here it sits today after removing all of the body work & everything that could be easily unbolted:














Next I'll load it in the truck & pressure wash the whole thing, then start prepping & painting all the bits I took off one at a time. Although looking at the big pile I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet & get them all powder coated...

Any other preventative maintenance I should be doing while all the bodywork is off?
