I don't have much luck finding stuff at junk yards for 97-01 Jeep cherokees. They are so rare. Also my interior is tan which Ive found out is also a rare interior color most are dark grey. Plenty of GRAND cherokees tho!

My dad bought a rust free MJ bed for $200. The truck it was on caught on fire with low miles and was later scraped.
The owner of the salvage yard was using it to haul car parts...

I got a whole car for $50 bucks once, used it for parts, then scrapped the frame/body for about $80.
Not to mention the countless "pocket items" (fuel injectors, little hoses and crap...), lol.

It was a hot day and every Comanche we saw was rusted something feirce... I pick up a license plate and tossed it into the grass and my dad looked over... He saw the word pioneer on a faded blue bed... It was just sitting there in the tall grass. So we checked it out and there was no rust... My dad even had me lift up one end so he could check the bottom... perfect. no rust at all... and in Indiana that it very rare...
We asked how much and he said $200... another $50 if we decided to return it... It wanted to get rid of it, so we took it off his hands...
So we took it to the body shop and he said it would work... He then had all the parts for the restoration... We got it back about 2 months later...

And I went out and check how it goes on. From what I could see, it bolts right to the frame with some bracket behind the cab, in front of the rear wheel wells and on the back. I believe the cab is only body piece that is the unibody...
Here is the link...
