Default Killed Me To Strip This Poor Thing

Went to the JY today to actually look at the front of the engine on this, and hopefully get a few parts off of it.
When I got there I was the first to actually take anything off of it.

The poor old girl was mint!
I felt dirty taking the front clip off of it, and lots of interior goodies.
The bill was almost 500 today, and tomorrow I am going back to hopefully get the electric seats out of it.

If you went where I think you went you got lucky, as soon as xj's hit that yard, they go down faster than a roofied woman at Cosby's hotel room

Yeah Victorville PAP.
I hate that JY to say the very least. The hauling out of that palce up the hill SUCKS!
HAHA I am sooooo well careful not to destroy parts if I can help it. Unlike most monkeys that go to JYs.
Wait till you see the haul I made from this poor thing.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why this was in a JY. The body and interior was absolutely beautiful. Had all 5 Jeep alloy wheels too.

I'm convinced that there's someone at that yard that gives their jeep buddy a heads up when rigs like that hit the yard, for a cut of whatever profits they make off it.I used to frequent that yard a lot, and everytime a new xj came in, they were picked clean as soon as they hit the dirt. Damn animals.

Good on ya, nice score!

Being as it has fog lights, don't forget to grab the fog light switch! Even if you don't want it, there are guys here that will, I bet.
I have 2 sets of steel rims for my XJ, but would trade them both for a nice set of alloy wheels! Just too far for me to travel!

Good score as well.

So this is what I took from that thing.
Anyone need an alternator bracket for a 4.0? I got it wondering if it might just attach to a 2.5, but nope!
This jeep even had the factory floor mats, even though they were beyond gross.



I WILL NEVER go back to pick a part again. Those awipes have a lower price for parts on their website, then charge you about 25% more at the cashier. HAHA kinda illegal, but that is the state of our country right now with all the BS in it from well.......... you can figure it out I am sure.
LETS GO BRANDON!
