1987Comanche Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I didn't get a chance to grab any pics but the little junkyard/scrap yard near my house has an '86 MJ, 2.8 4X4 in their yard. Medium blue with a blue vinyl bench, and a column shift auto. 97K showing on the odo and, other than the mangled RF corner it was in pretty good shape. The tail lights looked good, tail gate looked good, it had a bed liner, and it was still mostly intact. If anyone needs the tail lights or tail gate I can go back and grab them. I didn't talk prices with the owner as I was in a hurry (dumping scrap metal) and, frankly, was shocked to find it in his yard. Sadly he had a second MJ on the bottom of the scrap pile too. It was once a gray/burgundy SWB Pioneer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch_Stanton Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Taillights yes for sure. Where are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987Comanche Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Near Asheville, NC. I'm going to try and get back over there later this week. What do you think is a decent price for the tail lights, i.e. what should I offer the guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch_Stanton Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Near Asheville, NC. I'm going to try and get back over there later this week. What do you think is a decent price for the tail lights, i.e. what should I offer the guy? Try and get the pair for $20, then go to $20 apiece. Depends on the condition, but if they are near perfect they'd sell for $100 a pair on here probably, someone correct me if I'm way off please. The plastic around the mounting screws seems to break easily so check that, and the little clips are always nice to have too. Please check for the little courtesy/b-pillar lights too, I need a couple. Thanks! Oh yeah, and a fuse box cover! :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987Comanche Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Called him up with the intention of stopping by and he wanted $55 for the pair. I know the B pillar lights are shot (1st thing I checked) so no joy there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch_Stanton Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Grab the rear bumper and bumper brackets if they are still on, tailgate too. They are only getting harder to find, I'm sure someone would want them. If it's a short bed I need the rear bumper brackets, and if you grab the (not broken) taillights I'll buy them, shipping won't be too bad. Thanks bud, good looking out!

1987Comanche Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Its a long bed ('86). I'm planning to dump more scrap metal Sat morning and will grab the tail lights then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987Comanche Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I dumped more scrap metal and grabbed the tail lights this morning. One of the mounting tabs was broken/missing and I pointed that out. He knocked it down to $45 for the pair. The lenses aren't cracked or broken: Found the B pillar lights too! Turns out they were in the glove compartment. Grabbed both of them as well. Didn't seem like there was too much else worth taking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
