What to get at Junk Yards?

I am planning on hitting some local junk yards, What are some items that should be salvaged off a Comanche? Like for example, taillights and tailgates. Just would like to save some Comanche only parts from the crushers and maybe help out a fellow Comanche owner that needs parts. Thanks

Rear fender flares, outside B-pillar vent covers ( The black plastic outside trims), Interior dome lights, Metric tonne springs-ala dana 44, or the super elusive 1986 only M20 rear axle, any black interior peices especially black bucket seats.... bucket seat frames.... stuff like that.

 

Desireable XJ parts... 2 door bucket seats, late model outside mirrors, 97 up front ends and doors, dana 44 rear ends, late 8 1/4" rear ends.

 

Good luck.

Bench seats

Bucket seats

Seat brackets

Rear carpeted panel

Rear plastic trim under the window

Gutter trim over the doors

Owners manuals

Window stickers

Any original paperwork

Weird MJ specific add-ons from P.O.'s

B-pillar trim

Rear slider

Cargo light

AMC 20 Axle

D44 axle

Rear bumper

Tailgate

Tail lights

Leaf springs

Rear drive shafts

Tail light harnesses

Fuel sending units

Rear fender flares

Roll bars

Brush guards

Toneau cover

Hidden winch (I'll GLADLY pay for one of these)

Metric Ton badges

Pioneer badges

Laredo Badges

And finally, THE VIN FOR THE COMANCHE REGISTRY!!!!

 

All of this is dependant of how bad I need it, and how easy it is to get with the tools at hand that day.

don't forget the T-bolts from a 1978 Ford 9". apparently these are pretty rare. :rant:

 

 

but seriously, I try to snag any TPS or IAC (or other sensors) for my era/engine Jeep that looks clean (meaning it might be newer).

Funny you should mention the IAC. Found a nice looking IAC on an XJ. Was so clean that it stood out. So I snagged that up. Was only like $8. Got home and tried it on my XJ and works great. So now I have a spare that will work on my XJ and MJ. :D
