Greenjeans Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Ok first off…. I can’t pull any parts. It was 97 degrees today. May hit 100 tomorrow. I would love to do it for you but I can’t. I spent one hour there today looking for a few things and it about killed me. But if you are built for the heat. These are at Cash-n-Carry in Savannah. An ‘88 XJ model with low original miles. It had a 2016 tag on it, so probably accurate.. first unbroken console lid I have ever seen in a yard. and a 2000 XJ with a very nice front clip. 2wd… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 nice! looks like a lot of good parts there if someone was brave enough. just need to get there at opening time. I once melted the soles of my shoes apart on a 100* sunny day in a junkyard in Louisiana. but by gum I got that ARB bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenjeans Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 I’d get some eBay parts off that one and just grab that front clip for fun if it was 15 degrees cooler. The yard was about empty of customers due to the desert conditions… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WranglerMangler Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Looks like the XJ is a limited by the grill. Lots of good things to get off her! Check it for a rear Dana 44! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 That heat is no joke. I just completed a 1600 miles parts hunting trip. At the end of 3 days straight of pulling parts in the junkyards, I ended up a casualty from the heat. It took me three days to recover. I was drinking water and it wasn't enough. I guess age is catching up with me. My mind thinks I can still do it, but my body said nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sleeping in my truck for two nights as well, with no AC, just the windows rolled down. I think it was that combined with three days in a row working in the JYs from 0800-1600 that did me in.

Pete M Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I'm usually very good at consuming fluids and reapplying sunscreen and all that when out in the heat... unless I'm in a junkyard. too much distraction apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
