Hi. Apparently if I post sexual orientation on the SC board it gets replies. I want to replace some of the body panels that have been, ahem, "scratched" a bit I need a RF fender, header panel and a drivers front door. Yes I know the rock flames look cool, but I would like to fix some of the damage and try my hand at painting.

J&W and Rancho Jeep seem a bit proud of their parts. If anybody comes across a suitable donor at auction or anywhere, let me know. I would be willing to take one that has been hit hard in the rear and part out the drivetrain. Maybe someone is looking for a fresh AW4 or 4.0 and we can go in together.

open to ideas.

did you try carpart.com? Shipping may be a pain, but it gives pretty good prices generally.

 

[SeanP]

yeah, shipping a big item like the fender or door is pretty pricey. I figure a door would go for $250, a fender for $150 and a header panel for $100. Add in three separate shipping charges and you get up to around $700. I figure a wrecker could go for much more than $1k-1.5K and then I could part the drive train, interior, etc.

The govt surplus in Salem, OR has some good prices on xj's. I have seen a few totaled or damaged 00'. Their name is Oregon2000 or something like that. They sell about 2-3 cherokees a week it seems on ebay. Or just keep checking ebay in addition to the yards in California.

Right next to JW is a place called "James Auto wreckers" they have MUCH more reasonable prices.

Are you really trying to de-junk your junk?

[SeanP]

yeah. My heep is just ugly. I welded the rear quarters back together and it looks so much better than the open sardine can look. NOw I want to fix my front fender and header panel that got mangeled on axle alley and my door that got trashed on my nighttime extracurricular activities on lower proving ground.

Jes, when I stroke my 97 4.0, I will sell you the 98 for a great deal. That engine only had 38K when I put it in and I may have put 200 miles on it since then. Not sure if anything needs to be do to make it work with your computer, but I have the intake and fuel rail with it also. and a header.
