International This area is for all our fellow wheelers outside of the US. So now Canada and other countries have their own area.

Anyone around Edmonton?

Ya my boyfriend mentioned that s10s from the same years are generally the same column, but I haven't seen anyone selling any.. so I guess that we are going to try the pick and pull and maybe see what some other junk yards have to offer!

Going to look for some doors too since I need to fix the lock on the drivers side and was wanting to redo the interior (purple and plaid...) it might just be easier to find 2 new doors and call it a day. Almost at the point where I should just buy an entire other xj and take what I need from it.. ha.

Would love a new drivers side seat, since the original was so destroyed and the replacement I got is on the road to slants-ville too (and it is for a 4 door but I have a 2 door.)

and the list goes on...........

If I do get new doors you can buy my current ones off me. I am still debating if I should try to find new ones or make due with the ones I already have - either way ill keep my eye out for you!

Yep I have a 2 door - minor rust which I am attempting to repair, and drivers side has a busted lock. Not sure if its more cost effective to replace the lock and get a locksmith to match the other locks or to just get 2 new doors.. (If I can even find any).

Are 2 door xjs hard to find at junkyards?

Went to bucks auto parts in Sherwood park - got a steering column and a tire carrier! No 2 doors there and less Cherokees in the lot than what the inventory online said they had.. Any places other than that or the pick n pull anyone can recommend around Edmonton?

Heads up to anyone interested but there is a pretty decent mj at bucks auto parts in Sherwood Park. Not sure if its newer there or has been for a while but might be of some value to someone who wants parts from one.
No tail gate though, that baby came home with me for a project
