Random Comanche Parts…what are some of these?

[J33ps]

So I picked up this 90s Comanche with a whole bed full of parts.  Owner insisted they were impossible to find and to keep all of it just in case.

 

i want through it last night and scrapped probably 25% and another 25% I’ll likely sell.  If I can source it easily online why store it imo.  Also some of this stuff is straight up trash.

 

Anyway he had a lot of random wire connectors, ECUs, and things I’ve never seen.  I’m not super familiar, I just work on stuff as it’s needed.

 

The truck has a 4.0 from a 99 Cherokee and an AW4 from an 88.  I suspect some of these parts are from after the swap.  Any thoughts on what I should do?  Also how would I test these??

 

I was able to determine the rest of the stuff generally.  Most of this stuff seems like hoarded garbage honestly.

 

btw I have an okay tailgate, 2 rear bumpers (okay shape), and front header piece that goes behind the grill I think?? an exhaust manifold, a lot of door mirrors (good shape I think) and and exhaust pipe.  A ton of triangle trim pieces for the mirrors.  Also 3 sets of tailgate housings.  And a long bed xtra large gas tank.  I have a short bed, debating if I modify for that.  If you guys need something PM me and I can give more details.  Some I’ll sell but some I may just give away.  I’m in PA.

I can see to schools of thought here.  Get rid of the extra parts, or hoard them.  

One thing most will agree on, old ORIGINAL sensors are likely better quality than new *aftermarket* replacements.

My general rule of them is never throw away original Jeep parts.  You may end up looking for it in the future, but even if you don't, someone else is looking for it.

First picture is engine control computers.

Second picture is ignition coil and control module.

Haha you have a good eye!  That last pic was just for the TPS.  I considered laying it all out for someone to label but thought that might be too much so I tried to find those parts in the background via part numbers.

 

thats quite helpful thank you!

I usually give the parts away before scrapping. My brake pedal assembly is an exception. A simple mechanical lever arm that rarely fails is not something anyone needs, and it's one of the few parts that barely changed in the 17 years of XJ production.
