IDMJ Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I made a bonsai run over to Klamath Falls Oregon to pick up another project vehicle and while I was over there, hit a wrecking yard. i scored a complete Ford high pinion Dana 44 and 2 excellent MJ tailgates for a very paltry price. I’m kinda happy 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I assume he paid less than the $300 I keep seeing people trying to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDMJ Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 I’d sell one for $300. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 didn't say they were selling for that, unless it's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 What's the big secret here?? Why can't' you guys just say I paid $XX for a couple of tailgates? So the rest of us know what things are selling for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCO6 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Prices are all over the map and like many car parts that aren't plentiful they're worth what a buyer will pay. I saw an MJ tailgate at an auto flea market last Fall and the guy was asking $600 CDN (about $450 US). There's no way I'd pay that unless I desperately needed one. I walked by the same booth a few hours later and it was gone. A few months later a guy from the neighbourhood puled into my driveway, opened the back of his Suburban and said … "do you want this stuff?". He gave me a perfect MJ tailgate plus several other MJ parts at no cost! Auto wreckers around here have set prices for items that often don't make sense. I got a pair of near perfect driving lamps or my LJ for $7 each. To them they were just head lights. Bucket seats go for $35 ea. whether they're leather or ripped up fabric. A friend got a tailgate for a TJ (granted, not nearly the same as an MJ) for $25. If it was for an MJ I'm not sure if would have been much more.
