Quick ? I don't know? But I would say the axles/engine/tranny/TC/wheels would do best locally. There are a ton of used parts on ebay. You could undercut them and sell them faster if you don'tmind shipping. You can also sell parts on most of the Jeep forums. Mine is a 99. What color is the Jeep, what color interior ? I'd list it in the part outs section here,,,, after you sell me what I want really cheap for the advice !!! 😁

Which I will take if they are the manual joystick kind and you'll sell them for somewhere in the $30 range.

I am serious about the side mirrors - btw. To answer your question though, are you looking for "what will sell" or are you in a situation where you're looking for what to strip out before sending the rest to the salvage yard? You can and would eventually be able to sell most everything if you can wait long enough and have the room to keep a partially disassembled Jeep. If you're interested in the things that are both easy to remove and highly marketable (and of course are not doing anything criminal... though XJ owners are stingier than most, so this is a foolish vehicle to "chop shop") - Driveshafts - super easy to remove and marketable - ECM (Computer) - Gauge cluster if it's full gauge set (not idiot lights) - Side mirrors that you're selling to me..

I've been parting out XJs for years.

You're only gonna sell something when someone needs or wants it.

This fact stands on it's own. You can't sell anything for which there isn't someone who will buy it.

I considered parting out a TJ that I had and ended up stripping a few things for my XJ (front bumper, shift ****, some hardware) and selling the whole thing to a buddy who wanted to build a mud truck.

Parting out can be a slow and painful process.

The one thing I ended up selling from the TJ was a set of soft doors. They sold literally within hours because a new set had gone from about $300 (when I bought them) to $500 nowadays and I wanted $120. I had people from halfway across the country interested in them. So it was an item with high demand at that price and low supply.

Basic economics dictates that to sell FAST, you need to have high demand and low supply to charge a higher price, but for items that are in lower demand and/or have a high supply, the items sell faster by lowering the price.

Factor in the difficulty on your end as well - pulling an engine/tranny/transfer case is a LOT of work - and the ones in an XJ are common - so it's something that outside of a junkyard (with the equipment, tools and expertise to do it) it's not cost effective to do for most people.
