I took the decals off my '89 BJ74 with lots of elbow grease and 3M woodgrain & strip remover and then 3M adhesive remover to remove the adhesive left behind. Be prepared for some possible paint fade...

I wouldnt use solvents - go to an auto body shop - they should have a rubber wheel that fits on a drill about 4" in diam about 3/4" wide. Smells like vanilla. Not cheap (I paid $25), but it works on fritction and will not damage your paint. Use low speed and moderate presssure. Works beautifully, but yes, you may have faded "OFFROAD" in your paint.

a high end cut and polish after the stripe is removed goes a long way... depends of course as to how faded the paint is...

For stickers and things try using a product named "Goo Gone"
Smells like citrus and does an awesome job. It kicks but.
Should be easy to find. Try Canadian tire, shoppers drug mart, Wal-mart, etc....

Cheers,

thanks crushers.
When I get the stickers off and some nice tube bumpers bent and welded up I will try to post some more pics. The trays are cheaper in bc then australia. I don't know how but they are. even when built in australia.
This combo will be useful. the tray sticks out 4 inches on either side of the body of the truck so hinders wheeling a bit. thinking about getting canvas top made up for it.
later

Mika,

Have a look at the tonneau cover on this page, if you can find someone to make one like that locally great, it has a canopy bow so as to tent the cover for runoff. the bow is made of steel.

I can have these made to measure in Aust and mailed to customers.
