Default Junk yard hunting whats a hot cherokee item?

I went to the junkyard recently and found a 00 Limited XJ Black leather interior. Well long story short the seats were in such good condition i removed them and put them in my XJ. It was also equipped with a Over head consol. I know this is a high dollar item correct? Then engine got burnt from a leaking line/injector so the Intake wasnt worth the risk to me. Anything any one may be interested in?? or is there somethig that i could remove to make some extra $$??

I would have snagged the intake, anyway. I want one of those 99+ intakes in a bad way.

Check the 'Wanted' section and see what wishes you can fulfill. I know I'm looking for the cruise control switch that mounts to the steeringwheel (just below the airbag), but I don't know if it is a direct swap (mines a 96). Check my post and maybe the photo on it will help.

It is a lot larger than the older style along with better air flows. Designed to open up 15+ more horsepower out of the pre-99 motors.

Yes and no. The mainfold its self bolts right up but there are a few modifcations you have to make to things like the power steering pump mount and I belive a few other upgrading mods. But for the most part it's pretty straight forward with no special skills required.

Hot Items that are easy to sell and QUICK


Tow Hook Brackets and all Skids IMO. Anytime I go there if I see them I pull them easy way to build up your Gears and Locker fund.
