Hunting Down RARE JEEP PARTS - D&E in the U-Pull 31

[@josh26050]

The early model neon was one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. Great on gas, the weight balancing was so awesome it didn’t get tail happy in the winter. You just had to make sure to change the oil and keep and eye on the temp gauge.

[@rickreese5794]

Son didn’t want payments, Bought a wrecked PT. Has pulled 30,000 plus miles doin as u suggest, Thx for the GR8 post 🤙🏻💯😎

[@piasprojects]

Always enjoy the U-Pull videos! I appreciate you tossing in a YJ. But I still hold a special place in my heart for the XJs and WJ I owned! Looking forward to the next one!!

[@Poweraddicts]

YJs are my favorite rigs!!

[@JackSmith-hd3kn]

Lots of comments on the 5.9. And they are all right on. Especially the hood louvers, but also the leather seats front and back. I have a nice 5.9 we just finished upgrading all the suspension. There's a market for all things exclusive to the 5.9. Hell I've bought some stuff just to have a spare.

[@ProjectDanH]

I'd love the leather shifters and the side skirts!

[@rigom.2853]

You probably already know this but some of the simpler gauge clusters in the wj's are really easy to take apart and switch/replace the gauges without messing up your mileage.

[@danh6746]

I love your junk yard videos! Definitely fun videos that I always learn a lot from. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos! :)

[@DEInTheGarage]

Thanks bud! Glad you enjoy this stuff

They sure do.....

[@41GarageandGrill]

I'm only here for the obligatory Wrangler! Great run around the junk yard. it's always fun to see what you can find

[@77loka]

You guys in Murica are lucky. You live in the land of awesome cars... My first was a GMC Vandura, old ambulance. It was in Tel Aviv Israel, parts were hard to get, I was so happy when I found silver rear mirrors at the junk yard. Now Im in Germany, Berlin. Just got me a WJ 2001. more than 300,000km on it... hope it will serve me well.

[@wildbill23c]

That 5.9l Limited ZJ is typically how I find them in my area is. Pretty trashed. People just don't take care of anything especially if they're not the ones paying the bills.

[@99jeepxjguy97]

Yep, pretty sad. . . They just don't know how cool the niners are....

[@woody.503]

I have one with 258k miles, no warning lights, rebuilt engine, and all original. I absolutely love it.

[@geostanley409]

501 area code. I have an all original one with factory cold air intake. Clean, clear title, absolutely NO rust! 160k mileage. Needs head gasket on driver side. But for enough money I can make it sound. It runs and drives as is right now. ALL THE POWER AND THROTTLE RESPONSE! And the all wheel drive works too. ALL FACTORY ORIGINAL!in fact, for the right price I’ll replace the head gaskets in your presence if you have the time to spend. It’s the dark slate color.

[@brossovitch]

I want all the 5.9 ZJ parts. Grille and hood scoops. 360 engine and the holy grail 46RE! OMFG i wish i could get a niner in a junkyard over here that clean..

The Ford Explorers with the 5.0 came with GT40 heads. The same heads that were used on the Cobra Mustangs for a while. Also, the 8.8 rear diffs will swap into a YJ with a little fab work. Been there done that.

[@brianhaw9398]

I'm pretty sure the red wrangler just needs a good buffing. Mint! That's what they all look like around here in southern Ontario too.

[@DEInTheGarage]

Yea bud. That'll buff out. She's got some good service life left in 'er

[@gridtac2911]

For the TJ, check the skid plate bolts under the trans. If the bolts are offset from the other side then it's an early TJ 97-02, 03-06 have symmetrical bolt pattern on the skid.

[@wyattoneable]

I'd love to find an older XJ with the tan/kalamkari color interior. A perfect day to be at the salvage yard.

[@preppinglife624]

I would love to have had those ZJ tow hooks and bracket. I'm also after all the ZJ skid plates I can get my hands on. Great video brother!

[@bradleycarter2014]

I have those tow hooks and a transfer case skid. Located in southern IN

[@DJKittrell]

Surprised not to see any comments about the electric fan. Unique only to the '98 5.9, not used in anything else. Highly sought after by the offroad guys. You can pull the the entire upper and lower wire harness, coolant tube with couplings and switches, plus the fan. Total plug and play setup for any 96+ 5.2 V8. Beyond that none of the parts are made any more so they are good to grab just for people with a 5.9 looking for replacement parts. Go look up those parts on Ebay, it's nuts.

[@DEInTheGarage]

DANGIT! See.. every time. I will try to scoop it next time I am there. Thanks bud!

[@dadeking5472]

The hardbody trucks include the king cabs. They’re both designated as a d21. D22 is the pathfinder. Once you sort the timing chain those trucks are bulletproof.

[@tonya9614]

This was a great fun little adventure, thanks for bringing us along.

[@basshunter428]

Judging from the seats, and the amount of "weight reduction" that is either a 97 or 98 TJ. That 4.0 engine is unstoppable!

I thought it looked like the 99+ intake manifold

[@natehopler4797]

TJ has 97-00 seat pattern. The HVAC control is dial, which started in '99. The 4.0L has a distributor, which ended in '99. So... It's a '99. :)

TJ's didn't change much over the years as far as appearance goes. Later ones had 6 speed transmissions. They changed the location of the vents on the hard top. Little things like that it's super hard to tell the year for a TJ

[@ironman23gt]

The only clue I saw was the 4.0 had a distributor, so it was either a ‘97, ‘98, or ‘99... 4.0s got coil packs in 2000.

That neon might be an ACR, a model made for racing, only came in 5 speed manual, with a front slip differntial. Mostly came in 2 doors. Lots of performance parts and weight loss program, if is a real one. That is a big 4 cylinder engine. I think it had 150-160 horsepower. That was big numbers at the time.

I'm on the hunt for a camper shell for an 80's Long Bed Ranger (7 foot bed)...last week at the pick a part I found one except some jackass decided to rip the back window & frame off, otherwise it was a pretty decent Leer camper shell. Long bed camper shells for Rangers, S10's and Dakotas apparently are pretty rare to find....so far I've found a couple but have of course been damaged to the point they're of no use. Plus I'm hunting for a set of wheels for my 88 Bronco 2 as well as the ones that are on it currently are somehow all bent, I guess the previous owner of my Bronco 2 did a lot of curb hopping or something to bend up the wheels on it....the tire shop was able to get them balanced but mentioned they're all bent, so I need to track down a set of wheels for it....found a set of Aluminum Mag wheels a couple weeks ago with almost new tires on them for $140 for my 87 Ranger so hopefully I can find some 15 inch mag wheels for my Bronco 2 here soon.
