Also, removed the gold pinstripe using an eraser wheel and drill.

Now, it's time to detail it, do something about the baby blanket headliner installed by the previous owner, a speaker upgrade, and to do something about the paint on the cladding/flares.
Those eraser wheels work pretty good. I removed my side cladding from my '99 along with the "Cherokee", "4.0L", and "Sport" decals and used the eraser wheel to quickly remove all the adhesive residue.

Worked better than I expected. Only problem I had was my drill battery died when I only had about 18 inchrs of stripe left to go.
