Default Junk Yard Crushing in the roofs of XJ's on the line
I have noticed this THREE times now! The photos for the PickNPull Cherokees show in tact vehicles, but when I get there the roofs have been crushed in. Not from stacking vehicles and not from collision damage. Like a back hoe or something pushed down the roof completely to the top of the seats.

Three different yards.

What is going on? Anyone seen this?

We ARE talking JKs and not XJs, right?

XJ's. Sorry for the mix up. I went to the JY in my KJ. But it was the XJ's crushed in. Three different yards. Three different cities.

Call up the places and ask why they be doing that. Might be a misunderstanding about airbags.

In the Pick-n-Pulls here they just pop the airbags on every car that's brought in and remove the fuel tanks, drain the coolant.
