I will not sell it whole.
I will not ship anything.
I do not need help selling parts.
The body, bed, and tailgate are not for sale.
It was totaled due to minor uniframe damage on the passenger front corner, and I decided to replace it instead of repairing. The parts listed below are what I have for sale. Exterior paint is in bad shape; interior is dark red.

XJ = Jeep Cherokee (NOT Grand Cherokee)
MJ = Jeep Comanche (Pickup version of the Cherokee)
