Crazy tool haul finds in salvage yards..

Post by candymancan »

So ive found a tool here and there someone left behind.. But 4 days ago when i was in maryland looking through two FSJ.. i foubd a boat load of tools inside them

The Jeeps were aparently owned by the same person and the yard didnt even look inside of them.

So i just grabbed all the tools and put them in my tool bag . Ive never found this many tools before lol

I've found at least one tool in every FSJ I've acquired. Usually at least one inside the grille support but they're pretty hard to get out, sometimes. Never that many in one, though.

Yea i know.. The tire inflator was brand new too. so was the drill lol. It had two dremel kits in the jeep too but sadly no dremel itself lol. The box with the clear cover is an unused electrical kit with probes, cutters, all the connectors and terminals and battery terminal cleaner lol

I dunno i just thought this was an insaine amount of tools to snag lol

Oh and the Wag also has a brand new fuel pump. oil pressure sender. and brand new alternator lol all from borg warner too. still in the boxes
