Another JY MJ

[Akula69]

Went to the Baton Rouge Pull-a-Part on Friday to find they had just placed a MJ on the lot. It was in deplorable shape and appeared to have been lived in by the previous owner. I could not recover any information from the door tag (had to break the door handles off to even get into the truck) nor could I read the VIN due to heavily encrusted dirt. The bed was full of junk and rotting clothes.

 

Got the tail lights and the tailgate, even though they were pretty beat up. I'm not squeemish, but when I opened the passenger door there was some black gooey stuff seeping from a pile of mouldy clothes piled there and it smelled, well, like crap. :ack:

 

What I know:

1989 Sport Truck

Dark Blue

Blue Interior (maybe)

4.0 liter

puke goat

4X2

Not a straight panel on it anywhere, engine was bathed in oil.

 

This truck will probably be on the lot until February 01, so if anyone wants somethng from it let me know.

If you happen to be headed back out that way, I would love to get a hold of the rear bumper brackets. Not sure how much stuff like that goes for in your area, but $50+ship is my limit for 'em. Let me know :D

I'll see what I can do. When I was working on the tailgate I tried to get the catches (on the quarter panels) off for the tailgate and the bolts just snapped they were so frozen with rust. I'd probably need a propane torch to loosen the bumper brackets, and they are hard to sbeak into the lot. If I can get them I'll PM ya.

 

The bumper itself doesn't look too bad in the pictures, but it has a large crease in it by the left rear frame horn.

Our Pull-a-Parts will make you take them back out to your car before you can come in. If the find you inside with it they make you leave. Guess they are afraid of someone setting the place on fire.

just like rob did with the bed of that one comanche, Ive takin sawzall's, torch's and any thing else you can to get the part off of. But ever since the 2 JY's converted to they pull the parts off I have not been able to pull my own parts.
