Which vegas yards are good for XJ parts?

Just replaced the headlight switch tonight and it was painfully tight up there!

Being as I just picked this thing up AND I'm new to the area I want to get this thing up on little preventative maintenance items and then do some wheeling. I'll have to tag along on some posted outings here soon.

Pic A Part on North Lamb or the one off Boulder. Those seem to be the Jeep XJ cemeteries.
If you need help with anything just ask.

I'm free to go to the one on Boulder if anyone needs a hand. I sort of need some teachings on cars. I'm a VERY basic mechanic(if I can even be called that)

Mt Charleston still has some snow right? Or there's always a drive to Utah.

Both rigs are nice! Again, welcome to the valley and to the forums. Many of us know our ways around the XJ so if you need help just ask.

Who was the flat black XJ on North 5th that was behind me yesterday?
Was it a 2dr on a long arm lift and 35's?

I pulled a decent 8.25 with 4.10 ring off of one and only paid like 80. I just need the gearing to match the front now

Was that you? Looked like your avatar... There are two flat black ones that drive around here, one has HIDs.
