The flares? Not too bad; just rip the bi***es off. It's the 2 sided tape underneath that will suck. I'll probably pour some warmed up alcohol or diluted ammonia (in a bottle placed in hot water, microwaving chemicals just sounds like a bad idea) down behind the flares first and let it soak in. It might make it a little easier.

After you unbolt the flares, get some fishing line and run it around the flares to cut the tape. Then get you some goof off and remove the remaining tape.

I was thinking it's gotta be the avatar.

Other than a good washing, lift kit, front bumper w/ winch, roof rack, lights, bigger tires, and being off pavement, there's not much to look at.

x2 on the fishing line and if you are careful you can pull the remainder off in a stretch direction as opposed to a fold over rip direction

So I probably shouldnt use my wire saw wire from my Rambo knife kit? Fishing line sounds like that may be worth a shot. Hmm
