500 MJ Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Save all of the screws, electrical connectors, lightbulbs and fuses that you come across that are good. They are CHEAP at junkyards but will nickel and dime you to death when you need to go buy them elsewhere... Have Fun, Yards are a blast to go to.

maddzz1 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I would also grab the badges and the headliner if it is in good shape. where I live there are very few j/y that let you get your own stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Here's what I look for when I go, MJ parts. If I'm lucky enough to find an MJ, Anything that is MJ specific (interior pieces, rear fender flares, tailgate, tail lights, rear bumper, side rear vents, driveshaft for 4x4, headliner as long as the headliner form is ok, dome lights, cargo light, rollbar, metric ton leaf packs) XJ parts. 2dr buckets because they fold forward. XJ/MJ parts Black interior pieces because they are very hard to find. D44's tow hooks I don't need most of this, however I like to get things to help others out here and locally. Which reminds me, I need to clean out the garage again of extra parts. :brows: :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
