Neat little piece of history

Nothing particularly special or valuable about it though, other than it being a '92.

 Found in a search for seat belts at car-part.com, at a yard in Antelope, CA. It's a '92 2.5L, 2wd by the looks of it. Definitely seen better days, but the body looks clean enough. 3223 Mill St is still a Jeep dealer in Reno. I wonder how long they used it as their shop truck?

 

And interestingly enough, if you look up the dealers address in google maps, the street view image is this parked in front:

J&W Auto Wreckers..........that's a HUUGE yard. They have a handful of MJs and tons of Jeeps. I bought a spare tire winch and some other parts from them years ago. Usually cost prohibitive on shipping since I'm in VA.

Everything's cost prohibitive shipping to Canada, but sometimes you just have to deal with it. It didn't occur to me they might ship, though, so I might have to contact them.

Seems like a decent operation, but I don't know that I'd call ten acres huge. The one I used to go to back home is about 100... But maybe that's just a Canadian prairies thing. I guess they say ten acres of just Jeeps so that's a bit I guess.

I should have clarified that they have a lot of Jeeps, not necessarily acreage. But I didn't know it was only 10 acres, that is kinda small........

Wish I had a 10 acre lot full of Jeeps...  That's a cool find.  Ya think the duct tape tail light fix was in their shop manual?

I wish there was anyone in Iowa with a 10 acre lot of Jeeps!
