so today another forum member and myself went to the JY and boy did we walk out on top!
to sum things up i paid $26 and change for the following.
factory gas tank skid plate
interior switch panel pieces-defrost/rear wiper (i had mine drilled to put toggle switches in and now i want them looking like normal again)
1.5" coil spacer's
4-5pin relays
passenger side turn signal and plastic bezel.
passenger side mirror for NewXJaddict
the interior mirror pieces for myself
hmmm i feel like i am forgetting something. but yeah $26
there are control arm drop brackets and a track bar relocation bracket that i am going back for i think tomorrow or this week since i need to get a mirror for another car as well. (and its always the passenger side mirror)

some updates:
yesterday besides going to the junk yard i got my battery replaced free of charge since it was no longer holding a charge. which meant no reserve and having to jump it in the mornings... Turned out it was a cracked battery.
and today well.... still debating if i like it or not..... we'll see after i drive it around

Keep it! Its definitely fun to cruise doorless. I love all the crazy looks I get. Every now and then someone will ask me if its legal.

well i have to weld up my door hinges is the main reason. But with audio equipment they are not staying doorless for very long... lol. It is definitely a new experience! and i have always loved no doors.
But i went ahead and bought the $8 generic mirror and put it on a temp mount so i have a mirror. I have never really thought bout how much i used them till they were gone! lol

When i took my doors off my 4 door, i took a piece of sheet metal and bent it up to screw to the trim by your foot by the door. and was able to screw a 4.5 inch speaker in it, and it worked flawlessly... i might have a picture

nice head unit (even with face plate in my hand the head unit can still be jacked) Nice nice speakers in the rear sound bar, and my subs in the back as well as 2 amps. one hidden one visible ..... other than that there is nothing besides my jeeps registration and insurance that i am worried about being taken.
but i still have my radio going down the road

woo found it finally. I ran tube doors and took a piece of sheet metal. basically bent the metal 4 times to angle it towards the person, and have tabs to screw into the trim. hopefully this may spark an idea.
