Junkyard Finds

[Hypoid]

Saw some fun stuff at the yard:

1950 Caddy.

Unmolested YJ in the new sets.

The elusive KXZJ 8.25" axle.

BlacknBlue_XJ had plans for upgrading his D-35. We got him an upgrade allrighty!

 

[Hypoid]

As a side note, the ('97+) XJ that we pulled the axle from had factory tank skid, front skid, tow hooks. I did not think to look for a T-case skid.

Well, technically, I only had plans for fixing my wobbly armrest.

Huge thanks to Hypoid for helping me get this thing pulled out and pieced together. :cheers:

Also got myself some centercaps for my steelies, but I pried them off and now I'm finding out that the hardware isn't easy to come by. :doh: Might be making a trip back out next weekend to snatch those up before someone else takes the wheels.

Hey Mike, what yard had the gas tank skid?? I still need one.

 

[old_man]

I had fun. I scored all the interior pieces I was looking for.

Sweet! You can come and get that spare wheel out of my back yard.

Just for Riverfever, some dirty, dirty, (really dirty) Vanagon love.

 

[BlacknBlue_XJ]

Not going to make it this weekend. I should be able to get down that way this weekend if that works for you.

 

[Hypoid]

No problemo! Maybe I'll find that brake line I was telling you about.

Still working on the Flex Plate?

 

[BlacknBlue_XJ]

Got it penciled in for Saturday!

 

[BlacknBlue_XJ]

Welp, Roc k Auto just shipped, so it probably wont be here till next week. I'll have to reschedule. I can still come down and grab that wheel though.

 

[ColoradoRaptor]

Can someone grab me a front washer fluid motor or two for a 2000 next time they visit a yard? I will pay for part and shipping! Thanks!! :wave:

 

[Hypoid]

This might hurt..

A lot!

I should have taken the seat bottom out.

Made it home anyway!

 

[zluster]

Nice score, which yard?

 

[Hypoid]

UPAP Denver. There is a manual transmission sitting there...

 

[Hypoid]

Nothing says "booty-fab"...

Like J-Strut!

Shoulda used duct tape!!!!!!! (Is that made from conduit???)

In all fairness, there might be some good parts on this XJ.

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Um....... what's "J-Strut"? Google gots nuthin.

 

[Hypoid]

Something I heard long ago, never had to buy strut channel myself.

I should have gone at looked at the fords sat morning. And here I was happy to get a clock spring and cooler fan.

You would have beat me to it! When I saw it Saturday afternoon, I stood there blinking, not believing my eyes.

Next thing on my bucket list is to find an old Ford engine with cross-bolt heads above the pan rail.
