Local Wrecking Yards loaded with XJ's...

[Steve]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but...

So, I live in the San Francisco Bay area..

We are blessed with crazy good weather most of the time. I have 6-10 wrecking yards within 30 minutes. One in particular has 9 XJ's + currently and at least 8 YJ's. Another has at least 6 now.

Of course they have been picked at but as an example, we just pulled a clean (after steam cleaning) Grey carpet set for Heathers Grey Jeep. no mildew, still has clean and dry under layment, and heat shielding all intact, it cost us $20 I got two Cruise Control stalks. working with most of the printing $4ea

So I have no interest in going into the parts business, but i can take pics, post them, and since I'm there about every weekend I could help folks out.

think you could talk to em bout sellin me the whole car.
id come tow it away i just need one with a good clean frame and doors and everything doesnt need to run ima swap all my parts in most likly

if you could that would be great help thanks

No Problem, PM me what you are looking for, price range, and when/how you want to get it. I will be going this weekend to look for some parts myself. If i get your message before i go I will take pictures of the cars there and get price range. I know CA has a law that if the vehicle was involved in any form of fatality it cannot be resold, but other than that it should be no problem.

if you go down there can you keep an eye out for a rear sliding cargo cover. ive been looking for one for my 95 xj for ever and cant find one. if you find one let me know what youd want for it shipped to 02911 zip code

thank you

[Steve]

I will take a pic when i get home. I think I may already have one. I got one for my 90 and it didn't quite fit. i got an older one and it did. I'll post it this evening.

cool thanks, my 95 had one originally but the previous owner through it out. all of the mounts are still there though

i am in dire need of an obd2 plug. my vehicle is a 96 produced on 9-18-95. when I fixed the holes in the floorboard the lower dash panel had to come out. it looks like the obd2 plug went into the wiring harness via a connector. i may have unplugged it and sent it to the crusher with my old parts jeep. now I need to get the emissions done and can't because i don't have this plug. If you see one with a connector and not just hardwired in it would be really helpful for me to have this part. thanks!

how bout the OEM fogs off of a 97-01 xj? Thanks!

What wrecking yard is it?

I live in the area, and it would be worth the drive! Those prices are cheap, especially compared to Pick'n'Pull.

Also, J&W Wreckers in Sacramento has a good selection. But they won't return my calls/emails.

OK, Sorry about the delay. We had a head gasket blow, and then my Grandfather passed away.. It's been a long couple weeks.

We are heading down there today. I have made a list of what folks are looking for.

I will double check this before we leave at about 12:30-1:00 PST just in case.

Ok,

I went to the local wrecking yard and took a bunch of pics. Not wanting to clog the server with these pics I have created an album on Photo-bucket. 1 pic for each XJ

Hope folks can find what they are looking for.

If I need to move the pictures to the server locally let me know.

if you find a map sensor in a 96, i am in dire need of this, and dont feel like shelling out 164 bucks to dodge when im on a high school guys budget, being 17 and freshly laid off sucks. and dodge tells me its a 96 specific sensor. so if you happen to come across a 96 in your ventures lemme know if it has the map sensor! like i say, i NEED one bad lol

[Steve]

Ok, So I will be hitting the yard this weekend. If you can take a pic of yours to be sure it would help...

[shortbus]

ok will do when i get home.
