Pete M Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 stopped by a couple junkyards on my way to pick up that bed and scored a WJ t-case skid and hooks, plus ZJ 1" OME coils, rear ZJ Blistein shocks (likely an XJ guy snagged the fronts), a JKS adj trackbar, gask tank skid, and fancy swaybar links. I also grabbed the WJ gastank skid before realizing that they ALL came with it (that first yard only had the one fully loaded WJ so I kinda made an assumption it was part of the skidplate group). lol. maybe I can still sell it to a northerner with a rusty one.

Pete M Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 I mean, yes? I've only had access to the southern yards for the last decade and they are super nice. super duper nice. but finding a lifted ZJ is something that could happen up north too. some days you get lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suffer from Raynauld's disease and my grandma had a condition that caused her entire body to tense up and shut down if she got too cold. but I also suffer with hyperhidrosis and I easily burn under the sun so the south doesn't suit me very well either.

Pete M Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 it can be, but it's not so bad when I think of all the peoples' lives out there that are far worse. My body's plethora of foibles is merely quite irritating/annoying (although the cfs can be crippling some days). I still have all my fingers/limbs/eyes and I can walk and talk, so I can't complain too much. as long as I can still manage to help out others with their lives, I figure my life is pretty good.

fiatslug87 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 It's actually beneficial because it turns white so it's more noticeable when used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatCJ Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I have mild Raynaud's too. I think it's probably mild because my BP meds help treat it. Only my toes are affected, so I wear wool socks pretty much year round. I end up with sores on the end of them due to the lack of circulation. One of my daughters got it from me, she gets the white digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuit Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Damn Pete, you get OME parts when you shake the junkyard tree? I don't have Raynaud's, but I do have mild asthma - so I guess it's kinda the same thing, just respiratory instead of circulatory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaffodilRex Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 My one and only successful trip so far got me a grille, front trim for around the lights, a steering pump cap (mine was broken), and a tailgate. I was most excited about the tailgate because I was sure I wouldn't be able to find one. I didn't have many tools with me. I was shocked to get a notification that they even had a comanche. When I got down there it appeared that it had been there for a while and was pretty well picked over. Next time I returned it was gone. They haven't had one in the area since. They had some XJ's but they're all newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a 5.9 wj right next to my house house I'm going to get the master and brake booster off of. Any recommendations of things I should see if I can grab off of it?
