I started the disassembly process. I managed to get the top bar off of the brush guard. I need to take the tow hooks off next. I was able to get two out. I stripped the head on one and the other one I was not able to remove using a three-foot breaker bar. With the four-foot breaker bar, the bolt snapped. Since the bumper wraps around the frame, I will need to cut this off lower and drill it down.

I got the top and back of my roof rack off. Ten of the bolts snapped and two actually came out correctly.

I had a custom bumper over top of the stock bumpers, that came off fine and six of the eight bolts for the rear bumpers came out. Two of the nuts inside rusted away and I cannot get anything on them. I am going to wait until after I pull the gas tank so I can get to the backside better.

It has been moved to where I can really work on it. Now the fun begins.
