mfpdm Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Well, set out early to pick-n-pull today to take advantage of thier 50% off everything weekend. Got there at 8:20 to find a packed parking lot, so I figured I wouldn't find anything good. Man was I wrong. Scored a XJ D44 with the correct gear set to match my front. Got a 242 T-case. Also some head light bezels. Was going to get some more stuff but I figured I was pushing my luck on getting it home in the TJ. All in all it was a great day, even the weather was nice. :D But the best part is that all that only cost me $124. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't as lucky today...went to 2 P-n-P yards, and picked up a couple small things, a Dash Clock (no idea if it works, but the clips and plugs in the best shape of any PnP Clock I'd seen), 3 TCase NP231 Brush Bezel things, some front side markers, a wheel cap, assembly that goes into the 1/2 Console... No MJ's (of course) and most of the XJ's had been pretty well picked over... I saw a couple really messed up XJ's, one that looked like they needed the Jaws of Life to get the driver out and there was still blood (or what appeared to be blood) on the dash and windshield...

I was down there about a month ago and they had a Whiteish MJ with a TomyGate Lift, but it was pretty beat up. Not sure if that's the one you scored it off of or not. I don't think that I will go down there when it's not 50% off... I spent like $40 on a couple dash switch plates and stuff last time I was in Moss Landing...While I guess you can get some good deals, overall, for small stuff, it seems spendy...

a1awind Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 aww cmon', I could have fit a lot more stuff in that TJ ....if you can still see out the rear window.... there is room for more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperWade2 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 While we are talking about P-n-P's... does anyone know or has asked how often their inventory changed... it would be cool if they could notify you when they got new stuff, especially if say you were looking for an MJ, and they could email you when a new MJ arrived in the yard... Dreaming I know, but would be nice. I don't want to go every month and just look at the same vultured XJ's every time. SW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreaming I know, but would be nice. I don't want to go every month and just look at the same vultured XJ's every time. SW2 The one I go to is constantly re-newing it's stock on a weekly basis. They have what they call the row of the day. That row, which is probably 20 vehicles, gets crushed and new ones set out. I get emails for sales, but that's generated by the main site, not locally. I go every weekend and have only come home a couple of times empty handed. There is usually 10-15 XJ's there with an occasional MJ about every other month. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replied, "it didn't matter even if it was full price I would still buy it." Had a few more that watched me work on it for a couple of hours trying to free it that said, "is all that work worth it." I smiled and said yep. Only one or two actually said, "what a lucky find." With that said, it truely baffles me that people these days do not take the time to research the item to which they are buying, but rely on the person that is selling it to let them know if it is a good deal. :nuts: :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
