1981 Jeep cherokee going to Salvage yard today, anyone need anything ?

Post by candymancan »

I found a 1981 Jeep Cherokee, unknown if its a chief or 2-4dr or what not, or if its been picked already.. Its in a popular yard so well see.. However i thought id post here to ask if anyone needs anything off it.

I've personally never seen one in person well cept a 79 and it was gone cept the drip rail covers which i got for my grand wagoneer. Anyway, if you need anything specific that can be mailed let me know. I will check the forum with my phone when im there and i will only go there only once as its a 45 min drive away.. so let me know..

I will get the drip rail stainless covers if it has them, the spoiler, tailgate carpet if its in good shape, the door panels and door arm rests if they are in good shape, the wheel caps, and the buttons and switchs if i can.. But if there is anything specific someone needs lemme know

AC control is inside the conduit under the dash, one knob for fan the other for temp

Wheel caps, no screws, somebody may have tapped the wheel and screwed it from inside to prevent theft

it is a pain to remove switches, usually removing the cluster, so disconnect speedo cable, but if AC it is impossible, you need to pull the AC duct standing below the dash panel on the driver side, then loosen the cluster 6 screws, pull slowly to disconnect the heater control and the various wires

250. They sell for alot on ebay.. And this is the first in 10 wagoneers ive found that isnt broken i know its a lot but supply and demand and i doubt youll find one intact for a long time. Almost considering using it on mine.. Mine has been repaired using rivets and sheet metal.

Btw guys those wheel caps were blsck i thought they were painted by the owner but upon looking on google thats factory and yes factory on those caps they have screw holes in the back side to put them on and take them off..

It has 3 wheel caps 1 was in the ttunk the other 2 on the wheels.. To get em off i have to take the tires off.

Im considering going back since i got rained on i had to rush out..

How much for the clock (and got a pic)? What a/c controls? Below dash or in dash? What color arm rest? I need the fresh air knobs to the left and right of steering wheel if they're functional. I need the left black a/c duct for the driver's side. I also need the chrome cover for the outside tailgate electric window switch. I need a good chrome rear bumper if it fits the 4 door.

Interested in 2 of the black wheel caps if they're in decent shape. Also if you go back get the dash tailgate window switch

I got the chrome cover and the whole switch mechanism for the tailgate. I want 25$ for it 7$ shipping

The center arm rest is a honey.brown color. Clock i want 25$ for 7$ shipping. Here is my listing for cebter arm rest. If you buy it here vs ebay i can do it for 120$ shipping depends where you live. Garuntee you wont find a arm rest in better shape for a veey long time.. I was surpised how good this one was

The a.c controls i got the plastic faceplate which is orange color and the two knobs and the left side inner controls.. the right side had a coat hangar like tube that went way in the dash

here is the clock

The wheel caps i can only get 1 the other 2 are screwed on the wheels from the backside and i could get them off without the yard forklift lifting the Jeep.. And i tried to get them there both times i went and no one showed up
