The LKQ here is doing 50% off as well. I think I will head down there and finally find me a trailer hitch.

I'm planning on trying for the Kj rear brake parts again for mine. Just need one in the yard this time. :rolleyes: Oh, and may as well look for another '97+ xj 8.25 3.55gears with lsd. I've pretty much given up on that though.

If you guys see something special, let me know what it is. I've only got $50 in my jeep fund right now, but I got all that stuff last time for $40.

Thunderbird Front Coils ('83-97) = 3-4" lift (varies in lift and softness by year and trim package), will need top plate from strut too

That reminds me... if you guys come across a durango steering box, will you pull it for me? I'm trying to remember what else I need....

I'll keep my eyes out bro. Although i may not have the tools to pull the pitman arm so it will have to come with it. ;)

I work 11-9:30 so I wont be able to make it :/ It would be a good opportunity for anybody looking to do the Neon injector swap. There were plenty of 703 and 784s left when I pulled my at northville a month ago.

I've never been to lkq. Are they as reasonable as the other? Do you know if they've got any Libbys with rear disc brakes still there? Main reason for going. If i can't find any i'll just get ZJ parts. They had plenty last time.

Yeah the LKQ here always have tons of XJ's. But between patrick, matt, and myself they get picked clean of any decent parts pretty quickly :D

youve been doing your scouting hey Jimbo? I may pop in over at the JY myself just to bust a few mirrors of something... lol

Which one are you likely going to Jim?

Also the prices are lower at the "Jamaican" one and also they dont charge a huge BS 10% enviromental fee like LKQ, its just $1 per transaction

Went to both junkyards. Neither one had any libertys with disc brakes. Both had some xj's. At the jamacian yard i found about a dozen v8 durangos with good steering boxes. Also found a few zj's with disc there. Oh and found a nice xj wagoneer with a good grille and headlights if anybody wanted to do that conversion. Most likely i will just go back to the jamacian yard tomorrow.

Thanks a ton! That saves me some time. Looks like its gonna have to be ZJ discs then.
