Junkyard find pics

I went to the junkyard yesterday and found a few FSJ there here are a few pictures of them. I am going back on Saturday to get the grill guard and grill from the cherokee, and the dual shock mounts. From what I remember they are a 1981 Cherokee Laredo, 1978 J truck, 1965 wagoneer, and not sure on the other wagoneer.

if the yard gives a good price, you should grab both those grilles, that chrome pushguard, Wt fenders. While the shock mounts look interesting, I don't think it's a great idea to run them staggered like that.

You can't really tell from the picture but the shocks are also staggered the same on the bottom mount. I will try to get the hood bar for you. That being said if they are still there. Its one of them yards that rotates it stock often he says they crush them every sixty days not sure how it works cause then I asked him how long the cherokee was out there and he couldn't answer me. He said for the grill and grill guard it would be around $35. bucks though.
I haven't looked at old wagoneers and thought it was strange for the 1965 to be a two door when the body looked like it was made to be a four door

$35 for that, thats an awesome deal, this makes me want to go to the jy to see what i can find, all ive ever found in fsj's so far was an 87 wagoneer that looked clean but was rusted out, took a few parts from it, and a 60's one that jus needed to be put out of its misery, had marine carpet carboard headliner and painted with a paintbrush

I don't think I have ever seen such a thing. I initially thought it was photo trickery..

The body on the WT looks really straight!

I would love to have the chrome side trim on that 4-door if it is in great shape. Not sure what shipping across country would turn into though..

$35 for a chrome muscle grill and guard??!! I'd be spending an entire day there and coming home with as much as I could. That widetrack Cherokee looks nice enough to bring home as is. It's pretty sad when there are vehicles sitting in junkyards that are in better shape then what's in some peoples garages.

That dual shock mount looks home made. A modified factory piece.

Can we altogether say, RHINO GRILLE. If it's in any shape at all, $35 bucks is CRAZY cheap.

Also, is the '65 PS equipped? If so, I'm interested in the whole setup, if it's a 230.

WOW, what a find!! It's too bad they're gonna be crushed, some of them look like they really don't belong there!! I'd be grabbing every clean part I could possibly get my hands on...ESPECIALLY that grille-

It sure bothers me to see those straight rustfree units in a junkyard. I see FSJs for sale for $1000 that look a LOT worse.

Ditto on snatching up the parts... Nice sheet metal! But the staggered shock mounts are designed to have the front one lower on the axle as well as the tower so they should be lined up fairly well for a 4WD Rambler.

I also think this one still has potential!



this looks like a close sibling to the 2 door Waggy you found...
