I have a parts cherokee and a large collection of stock and aftermarket parts.

Yeah, I get the feeling they were a rip off some times, but I lived by there, and didn't feel like driving an hour to get cheaper parts, lol. I live up in town now (broadway and pantano), so JY's in marana are a little more feasible...

Although I did score a transmission from them once for about 70 bucks...

They're prices are higher because they're part of the AARA which I think is a bunch of tree huggin' hippies that want to make things cost more so they can claim their practices are "green" or what ever.

Worlds largest auto salvage yard! and its 20 min from my house! I'm hitting this baby up for an ALL DAY excursion.
That yard is the best!!! I go there every year with my Intrepid club. We meet for the Chrysler show in PA and go there the thursday before. I might go down this year with the Jeep and will stop there to see if I could get lucky.

So my buddy just bought a 90 xj a few weeks ago. It's got a weird 4.5" lift and brand new 32's. Well He decided to go to the junk yard the other day. (God I wish I went before him). Well he got to talking to one of the guys there about his cherokee and that he was wondering if they had any lifted ones around. The guy said he had one in the back he was saving for his XJ but he wrecked a couple days ago and didn't have a use for the one he had saved anymore. So here is list of stuff he got off the Cherokee the worker had been saving.

5.5'' RE adj short arm lift
Homeade rear bumper with swingout tire carrier
4.10 gears
ARB Air lockers front and rear with compressor and switchs
np231 transfer case with SYE and tom woods drive shaft
Super 35 kit
Diff Covers front and rear
Dana 30 and Dana 35. He just bought the whole axles.

He got everything for 400 and they even loaded it in his rig for him.

This was like three moths ago

Yea I bet your sick,I cannot believe someone would sell all that for 400,he must have been sick from wrecking his jeep,what a steal.

I was happy with these until I read that.

i found a pretty much rust free LWB bed for one of my Comanches and I had to buy the whole truck from the wrecking yard for 4 bills. Pretty sweet. truck had MO plates so I brought it home. (no rust to speak of) buddy has it now and its got a 300-6 Ford and its on 35s... oops never mind. Great find on the box!
