Just got screwed....need some help!

[usmc97hd]

A couple of weeks ago I found a 98 2 door in Hampton Florida that was on Trader On Line. Im in Houston Tx so I didnt get to see it first hand. Ad said it needed a motor. Called about it and was told the Jeep was in GREAT shape but it had over heated and needed a head gasket. I figured even if it needed a head I could still fix it for around $500. So I bought it. The shipping company just dropped it off this morning. WOW! What a disappointment. This thing is ROUGH! Needs a motor and a ton of little things.

I need to find someone here in the Houston area that is parting out a 97 thru 01. I deal with some junkyards at work but they are all nuts when it comes to prices. If you are from around Houston and have one you are parting or know of someone who is please let me know.

I can be reached here or email at stevegillen66@yahoo or call 513-571-2170

Thanks

Steve

P.S. I tried to put this in the wanted ads but it wont let me post. I guess because its been a LONG time since ive posted anything.

best/cheapest thing to do will probably be to find one wrecked with a good motor and buy it.
Use what you need and sell the rest.

Keep an eye out here I am sure someone will have a source!

I'm in Conroe, and have a buddy parting out a 2000 model. Everything is still there except for front clip and tranny/tcase.
