Good score! The yards in my area tend to have parts if you look but are always over priced. I feel like I'm getting screwed every time I go on the hunt

I've always wanted to go to Harry's in Hazleton. I've been to the one in Pennsburgh, and have never once left with what I was looking for. I've had the most luck with Shorty's and Dave's in KOP.

Can you tell you that Pick N Pulls out here are pretty much ripoffs. Cost me $140 for my overhead console, even without the display and light modules inside it simply because, and I quote, "The light lenses are built into the unit and non-removable without causing damage, therefore they are considered lights, which are $30 a piece." So, 30 x 4 is about $120, plus another $20 for the console itself. Total....ripoff....Not the first time either.

Went out there at a different time to get the passenger side headlight surrounding piece (can't remember what it's called. Bezel?) and they tried to charge me $50 because they thought it was a headlight door, like the flip up type on some cars. Talked to the manager and he agreed with them, so I tossed it into another car and left.

Anyway, enough griping....I'll admit, I've had a few good finds myself at the yard. Not too long ago in the back of a Cherokee, I found what I think are two clutch master cylinder for a Jeep, maybe. They appear to be the same size and shape of the one in mine, but the reservoir sits on top and is held on by what looks to almost be a hose clamp. It's got two rings and is tightened like a clamp is....I'll get a picture if anyone would try and confirm what they are?

I like hazelton harry's, I live 30 miles away from it but there is another junkyard called EZ pull that is terrible when it comes to hills, walking, cash only, $2 entry, not as organized as harrys, but the prices are incredible, a lot of the time the prices are almost half of what harry's charges. I always see virginia, new jersey, new york, ect license plates parked outside getting parts. I will post a picture of their parts list when I find it.

I spent like $30 for a 99 center consol, 99 heated electric mirrors (both), 1991 tachometer gauge cluster, oil sending unit and a few other small misc items.


I found about 15-25 XJ's at EZ pull, That had a lot of parts left. I found about 15 at harrys the last time I went (april). I was told of another junkyard near me that has double the xj's that ez pull has but I have not been there yet and I forgot the name.
