Finally.... someone else who understands just "strolling" through the junk yard looking at cool shit! Most my friends and certainly my parents think it's super weird but that's where I learned how to wrench and take apart Jeep engines before tackling mine. Cheers from a current WJ 4.7 and ZJ 4.0 owner. Only Jeep people could ever understand !! Subscribed

[@DEInTheGarage]

This is true! I don't know anywhere else on the planet you can stay so entertained for just $1... Thanks for the positive feedback!

[@jasonhathaway9746]

Us Toyota 4 Runner guys do this too. I love walking the yard.

[@wildbill23c]

I go to the junk yard to get 1 or 2 parts and come home with all sorts of stuff for other vehicles as well LOL. Often times I find new parts like many people trying to throw parts at a problem they don't know about and in the end they scrap the vehicle and leave all those nice shiny new parts on them.

[@terrytorres7075]

Alvin, what does the WJ & ZJ mean??

[@dylangreen9819]

@@terrytorres7075 Those are the internal company codes at jeep for their models. Square headlight wrangler is a yj, cherokee is an xj, etc. It started when after wwii the cj was made as the "civilian jeep" but it has no meaning for the other jeeps

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Always take the lug nuts and other fasteners with the parts you choose. You know they fit your part.

[@DEInTheGarage]

Solid advice!

[@grimmster111]

old vid for sure, but if nothing else, put the lugnuts back on the posts, in case someone needs them

[@JamesShelnutt]

one thing you can do when looking for tires is to find the date code which should be four digits - the first two being the week of the year - the second two being the year. So for example the code (3118) would mean made in the 31st week of 2018. This way you can know how old the tires are that you are buying.

[@googleaccount1132]

here's a golden comment look for X auction vehicles with stickers on their windshields they usually have the newest Tires and Brakes and other parts on them from the dealer because they need them to pass inspection or attempt to pass inspection before they actually sell the vehicle but when they can't sell the vehicle ,the junkyards will probably buy it cheaply . NICE VID BTW

[@DEInTheGarage]

This is really interesting! Thanks for letting us know. If it is alright with you I will mention that in an upcoming video

[@DevinDeCremer]

Last yard I was in, I wandered around and spotted an old 1960-70s Mustang with a straight 6 engine. It looked fairly good.

[@metalheadpsycho2486]

[@thomshere]

New subscriber. Thanks for the videos! Even when I could afford new parts I loved to go through the junk yard first. There is something satisfying about saving money!

[@DEInTheGarage]

Yes!

[@TheBroskiVlog]

That’s pretty cool that you found good tires, anything above 5/32 gets removed and placed in a locked are of the junkyard and they try to sell them as close to retail prices as they can. It sucks.

[@DEInTheGarage]

Yea, I have seen some yards do that. This yard is upstate NY is a free for all. It is awesome

[@micaelpress8854]

My dad used to take me when I was little. We still go together. Its our favorite place to shop. The place we go is in Spokane Washington.

[@mattdajedi]

My mom calls my car a FrankenCar because I usually get my parts from Pick n Pull lol

OK, at least now I know I'm not the only one that does this. I go to get 1 part, but come home with a bunch of different parts too.

[@mikeb6033]

I don't always hit big when I go to u pull its, but 1 time, I managed to get an undamaged OEM 1996 Camaro SS spoiler and the hood with the airbox, all for less than $175. Turned around and sold them for over $800. Couldn't believe I got them and nobody else did, maybe they thought the hood was aftermarket, but when I looked underneath it had the "Made in Canada" stamped on it so I called my friend with a truck and grabbed em.

[@DEInTheGarage]

That is junk yard gold right there! You never know what you are going to find. The best score is WeatherTech floor mats. They are between $1-$5 each at the yard, $120 for a new pair and can easily go for $60-$100 on Craigslist depending on condition. My dad always said "It is good money if you are willing to do the word" referring to outside-the-box money making like mining the u-pull yard

[@shaneoconnor380]

Hey guys. I love what you're doin. I'm a neighbor just south in Canastota. I will have to look you up sometime. It's great to see others that see gold at the bone yard. I'm focused more on the small engine stuff but anything gas is my game! Keep on doing what you love and it will never be work!

[@DEInTheGarage]

Sadly we are actually from New Jersey, but we have Family in Utica, so we always make it a point to visit Vince's when we are up tyhere (about once per month)

[@Central_Fl_Outdoors]

Been watching your u pull yard videos. Got me back to my local yard. I just spent 22.00 on 400.00 worth of interior pieces for my 2015 ram. And i found a pair of channel lock plyers. Id say thats a u pull win.

[@DEInTheGarage]

Yea! Glad to hear it! Total win right there

[@remoil983]

I just have to ANNOUNCE, I'm a member of a group that found an SUV, a luxury SUV that never shows up in a pull a part, not giving any details, but I got an email notification.....something that never shows up, so much I worked all night and still went to a pull a part 50 miles away, and spent ALL DAY THERE. and got the front end.....all the front end radiator support, head light brackets, front bumper cover all the fastens ..... went to rear bumper, Got REAR Bumper, all the brackets and the back gate $229.00 went back 2 days later got driver door drivers side back passenger door every trim piece I needed flip lighted mirror recline driver door, rear seat belt receiver, lock button, center console tray center console cup holders $156.00... used a golf cart..$15.00, and seat from every car around to buffer the scratches .....almost a super hero had a baby with Scotty Killmer and McGuiver.

[@thesusboomerroblox6516]

One time I took nearly a whole car worth of stuff I brought a wagon needed many trips spent a bit but got way more back on marketplace

[@electrospark295]

Prices are a bit higher where I live, Alternator: $40, Headlight: $30 (each), Belt: $5. Still worth it though. I just wish my local junkyard had older vehicles, almost everything is from the 90's or newer.

[@DEInTheGarage]

Yea, it gets harder and harder to find older classics around

[@johngates7713]

How funny. I go there every few days to look for WJ parts and I have a couple of WJ's too. Never ran into you guys! ... I see later in the video you point out some of the fun stuff you find. One of the things I've never understood is why I've seen used panties so many times.... Guess the yard gets some people awful excited.

[@DEInTheGarage]

bahaha.... She non-automotive stuff you find at the yard is always good for a laugh

[@tonyfourpaws4511]

Funny, I found this. I did just cop some sweet shit from my local yard AND saw some wild country XTS tires with great tread and rims for 150.00. also got some sweet aftermarket lights for the WJ for 20.00!!!

I use spray paint on my tires, at best, it keeps you from seeing the air in them.

[@ethanmiller1248]

If I got the wj tow hooks will they bolt right up to my 04 wj?It didn’t come factory with them. Will I have to drill holes?

Yep, no drilling or anything. Make sure you grab the little clips that they thread into and you will be all set

[@brendanjames7122]

You traveled a long way to get to a U-Pull it lol. There's Gary's U-Pull It near me in Kirkwood NY that I go to a lot. Had some great finds there. Not so much for my square body Chevy though unfortunately. Hopefully they have a decent stock of WJs there, I'll be looking for spares in a couple weeks.

[@johnswanson3741]

Square body chevs never lasted, rust buckets, and poor quality. People love their chevs tho, just don't understand it

[@brendanjames7122]

@@johnswanson3741 About the same as Ford and Dodge of the same era. I've owned and driven them all. I prefer the Chevys due to parts interchange, huge aftermarket support for everything, and those parts are for the most part less expensive. It really only comes down to personal preference. Until US manufacturers start building vehicles like some Euro cars, they're all junk in the end.

[@juandenz2008]

What happens to difficult to remove parts ? My old Nissan has a power steering leak - so I need to get a cheap replacement power steering rack from somewhere. The problem is to get at the power steering you need to drop the exhaust and the center member (and support the engine / transmission). Difficult or impossible I think in one of those U-pull Junk Yards. So I'm kind of curious what happens to those kinds of difficult to remove components ? Do they just get crushed with the rest of the car at some point, or do they actually get removed by some intrepid parts hunter ?

[@DEInTheGarage]

I have seen guys at the yard pull all kinds of stuff. Transmissions, engines, steering racks, even internal engine components (i.e. tearing an engine down in the yard to get pistons or something). If you plan the trip out, leave yourself a ton of time, and have some help, I like to believe nothing is impossible at the yard

[@sweetkellymay]

If it fit's in your pocket, it's free....

[@mattdajedi]

Haha yep, I’ve gone far to stick some things in my pants, usually I get 2 or three of the same part in case one doesn’t work I don’t want to come back.

[@keithlowe1982]

Is it wise to buy fan belts at a Bone Yard ??

[@DEInTheGarage]

Sure., why not. I wouldn't buy one that looks like it has 100k on it, but if it is clear it was recently put on and has no signs of wear, I will happily take a $7 belt that usually costs $35 to keep in the Jeep as a spare for emergencies

[@nazigrammar9728]

guys - how do u know how much does the needed part cost - do u ask that after u found - I mean should u pull apart and go to some office for the price?

[@DEInTheGarage]

Every place i have ever been either has a price list printed out that you can take and walk with or a large board by the entrance that shows all the prices. I try to look at prices of what I plan to pull before I go in so that I can gauge what to pull

[@ak6781fan]

Man I thought about doing this before. I don't know where you guys are shopping but the LKQ Pick a Parts which are the only ones near me just charges way too much. You pointed out those L hooks we're five bucks for both of them or something like that man those would be $35 a piece at my local Pick-A-Part.

[@DEInTheGarage]

Seriously?? Random stuff that isnt on the list (tow hooks, etc) is $5. That is a damn shame. What is the point of a pull-a-part if it isnt cheap??
