ok, so pulled off that bottom trim, and it ripped half the front door off lol, but its another step in the process, looks like i'll need the drivers door, passenger, and driver rear doors, and both frnt fenders.
its now in the garage on jack stands, gonna replace the cps and put the drive shafts in and put fluid in the transfer case and try to get it driving before it gets tore down
