..found some info on here about it...some directed at links on "how to's" for repairing curb rash/repainting..pretty sure can be found at www.soopercooperinfo.com
..It can be done with tires on...but kinda difficult...so had em off (& threw em away cause they were crap), dremeled a few of the areas that needed it, then filled in areas with 3M Bondo spot putty...sanded..primed..sanded more..till ready to paint.
..here are some before pics..not the greatest...but you can kinda tell all around the edges were curbed up...why they sold em so cheap
..was pretty time consuming..but I like spending time in the garage with stereo cranked up

Looked at it sadly, because I can't drive it at decent speeds until it gets the tie rod end replaced on tuesday.
In the past week though--had blizzaks put on it(which exacerbated the tie rod issue), put a new radio with steering wheel control in, and replaced the driver's side door actuator.
The tie rod end is the last of the work that it'll need for a while. I'm taking it on a road trip to CO as soon as it's fixed!

Looks awesome, let me know how the Marshall gauges work out for you! I've been thinking about getting some myself.

Did an Oil and Filter change this morning, also changed out my spark plugs they were the originals with 91K on them, i was suprised at how easy they came out and almost No carbon build up on them. The new ones really do not even feel any better, but it was time, Will do the wires and coil pack when they come in this week
