FJ80s in Junk Yards

[campoj2]

Has anyone seen or knows the whereabouts of a locked 94 FJ80 in a junk yard located somewhere in the tri-sate area?

I don't need the axles, I have them, I need the wiring harnesses for the rear axle.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks,
John

The problem with those guys is that they charge you an arm and a leg for stuff that is dirt cheap at a junk yard, for example...I scored the entire middle row seats, all four leather door panels, the center console, every interior trim piece, and the carpet out of 1997 Lexus LX 450 for around $500. Those parts out of cruiserparts would have ran in excess of $1000.

Another junk yard sucess story deals with my locked axles, total mileage 110K, no rust, both locked, grand total $1000. Those axles would have been $2200 from cruiser parts.

You can make this hobby affordable if you look in the right places, sometimes when we google we'll find what we're looking for, but you are going to pay for it.

Just food for thought.

I had a friend that told me about an 80 in a u pull it yard. I got there 2 days later and it was completely stripped.
I'm not saying they are not out there but, Good luck.

I was at U-pull it in Allentown, found a ton of parts, they only took cash, came back 2 weeks later and they sent it to the crusher. The ironic part of it was that the guy was practically giving the parts away. He wanted $20 for the entire center console (LX 450). I couldn't believe they sent it to the crusher.

When we deal with specialized Land Crusier parts people we seldom get a great deal on used parts.

That is true. Where was it, Harys?

There is a Harry's U-Pull / Kress Auto wreckers in Hazleton, Allentown, Pennsburg.
