I got a factory front skid and a 15x8 d-window with a 32x11.50 tire for $42. I was happy.

I found this on Monday but nothing I was actually looking for...

I did score a pair of front shocks that were brand new and the overhead console from a Mitsubishi Montero Sport that I'm in the process of modifying so it works in my XJ. I wasn't there looking for any of those things, though. What I want is a soundbar, dammit.

OEM tire carrier, sadly someone pulled it before i could get enough money.


Also found a '60's Wagoneer in great shape (Might even be a runner if it's still there) and a 70's J-20 in the same yard.

They took the whole tailgate, I'm guessing they didn't take the bumper itself because it's bent. I just remembered, another junkyard has a ****ton of classics like 1930's Jeep wagons. I should try getting out there before spring and take some pics.

They have a huge section, about half the yard, full of cars that i would say range from the 20s to the 50s-60s, then the modern section which is organized by a monkey, can't get into half the cars. Spent a few hours walking around there until i got stung by a ****ing wasp, which is why i stay outta there during the spring/summer

Here's a couple shots from my last trip to make any jeep fan a little sad.

AH!! IT BURNS!! MAKE IT GO AWAY!!!!!!!!
I always hate it when just one classic vehicle is junked just because some idiot didn't want to sell it or fix it. But when an entire fleet......................................... CURSE YOU U.S. POSTAL SERVICE!!!

I definitely saw that 2 door at the pick n pull Hank, haha. Best things Ive found would have to be 2 unopened beers in the console (didnt touch them), sound bar, an Alpine brand car alarm style siren, and an XJ with the Big Three wire upgrade, it was cheaper and easier then doing it myself.
