Some junkyard finds...
Went to the junkyard yesterday in search of a new fan shroud since my fan decided to butcher my old one. With cash for clunkers over now there's still a ton of Cherokees in the yards. I found my shroud on a 00' Cherokee in near perfect condition. I also found these toys...
Nothing fancy, and it's just for looks, but for $20? I snagged it.
Kinda hard to see, but that's a factory front skid, no before pics of it, but that's after a couple coats of gloss black paint. Got it for $10. And they threw in the fan shroud for free!
And the grill gaurd after a couple coats of primer, and a couple coats of satin black to match the rest of my Jeep's trim. My header and all my gaskets should get here today from FedEx, and of course I have three 12hr shifts over the next three days. so all of these new toys will just have to sit on the porch until I can get them on the XJ on friday. I can't wait!

Yeah, i hope you have good luck out there, after cash for clunkers, the junkyards have a nice supply of XJs and ZJs, even the odd MJ here and there. I got my new "junk" installed tonight, sorry for crappy night pics...
And the skid...
Oh, and this came from FedEx today... I can't wait till Saturday!!
Gonna replace the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, rear main seal, and rear diff fluid/gasket as well (also came from FedEx today) She'll be a whole different animal. And she'll stop marking her territory in her parking space too...
