yellaheep Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Clean body, 4.0 / auto / AC / 4x4. Tossed out like last weeks newspaper. Why didn't the owner put it on Craigslist???? That's a $1500-$2000 MJ right there. Even with a blown engine. With stupid-low scrap prices out here currently....... he probably got $300-$450 for it.

gogmorgo Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I take it it's on a truck because it's no longer at a junk yard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellaheep Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 No, I believe you can tell by the truck's advertising....... cash for cars....... That's it going across the scale at the junk yard a few weeks ago on it's way to becoming a parts donor. I'm going this morning to grab the bed liner and any other bits it may have.

500 MJ Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Wow! I'll seriously take those rocker panels! Where is this at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 it's a shame to see it get junked, that thing is in better shape chassis wise than a lot of trucks I see for sale. On the inverse, it's sacrifice can help keep many other trucks on the road. If it bothers you that much, try and buy the whole truck. some places will let you do that.

yellaheep Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Specs: 4.0 / auto column shift / 231 / D35 / long bed / AC / dark blue interior. Went to the yard it's at (LKQ at 33rd and Peoria). Someone beat me to the tail lights and tail gate, e-brake release, visor clips, emblems, arm rests and door panels. I made off with the long bed liner, rear interior trim below the window, the carpeted rear cab panel, t-case shifter surround, the bench seat brackets and sliders, e-brake assembly, A-pillar trim plugs, and fuel pump sending unit and pump assembly. The yard monkey that snatched the truck with the fork lift was none too kind to the poor truck. What appeared to have been a nearly pristine long bed was totally trashed along the bottom where it bashed around on the forks. The front was rammed at one point as well, probably to push it into place in the row as the picture shows it with a relatively clean front bumper and header panel. The bashing it received revealed that the rockers were rusty and filled with bondo. Driver's floor board was rusted through in spots. Rear bumper was rusted and crumbling along the lower edges and bent to hell. End caps were present but beat up and cracked/torn. The bench seat was trashed, carpet nasty, headliner gone. Some a-hole needed the brake booster assembly and literally ripped the lower dash panel apart and bent it over to the passenger side. The column shift cable was trashed so that they could get to the booster bolts. The column itself was also trashed. I tried to get the rear window rubber trim but it was glued in and ripped. I salvaged what I could. Wanted to take pics but my phone battery died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91Pioneer Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 How were the cab corners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 How were the cab corners? Didn't really inspect them closely, but given that the rockers were bondo over rust, I would believe that if the corners weren't rotten, they're close to it underneath and behind. Have you ever tried to cut MJ cab corners out? It's a muther. Many parts of the cab are joined there behind that external sheet metal. I tried to cut a set of corners from a scrapper MJ since so many folks here ask for them........ I gave up after getting some cuts started on one side. Nothing easy about it.
