The problem with stripper is that you have to remove it from cracks and
crannies in the metal, of which the Jeep tub has plenty. Sawdust, mineral
spirits, water, or the fool's method--gasoline are all ways to accomplish
this, all with their unique advantages and disadvantages. You are right
though that it does not pit the metal like sand blasting does.

Depending on the type of stripper used..err paint stripper used and the type
of material its used on, you could end up with the stripper remaining behind
where it can eat holes in any carpets, plastic or other material that comes
into contact with it. It the part being stripped happens to be fiberglass
and depending on the type of paint stripper you can end up with the paint
stripper eating (burning) holes into the fiberglass. I used to work in a
place that painted aircraft and the paint stripper we used would eat
anything composite, stainless or made of steal. Only thing it was safe for
was the aluminum skin and some plastics (like the barrels it was stored in),
The stuff also could sit and dry for months, but as soon as it got wet again
(even moisture would do this) it became active all over.

Might be expensive but try soda blasting (blasting which uses baking soda
instead of sand or beads)

get a sand blaster from harbor freight they're cheap and the 45lb model
(pressurized) works well enough... I wouldn't want to strip all the
paint off with one but for rust spots and corners it'll work fine.

or just get a finish sander (triangular shape). You really only need to
scuff the paint to get the new paint to adhere.
