yeah, get this: with a salvage title, you have to get a sheriffs inspection to insure it's not stolen and it's roadworthy. well, the xj was totalled because the guy hit a deer, all front end damage. so, i fixed it and it's totally road worthy. well, the way the "inspection" statute reads, it says "all damage must be repaired", and they go strictly by the book. i have to repair two small dents in the doors and replace a cracked (mind you, cracked, not broken) taillight, and have all the trim pieces on it, AND the little bumper end caps have to be replaced because they're dented in... i was so pi$$ed...it is so friggin stupid.
so, anyway, that's where i'm at.
as far as ebay, a junkyard, or store goes: couldn't find any on ebay when i looked, junkyards around here want way to much for anything, and i didn't really need new ones. figured with as many bumpers we replace on jeeps someone may have a couple good endcaps lying around...i mean, this is the "wanted" to buy forum....thanks for the suggestion though.
