SO, check this out guys. I came to a deal with my neighbor. His father is in the towing/impound business and any car left on his lot for a certain amount of time he just sends to the scrap yard and they give him $350 for them. Well from now on any XJ,CJ,TJ,YJ,JK,MJ that comes through his lot and sits the required amount of time I will have the first chance at buying them for the same as scrap value or $350 right now

Rads are cheap Mava (unless you get fancy and get an all metal 3 core) so you might as well go new. They can be had for less than $50. If I were you I'd order the parts yourself and have this shop simply install them. Shops usually put a 25% mark up or better on their parts.

$57.60 with free shipping is the cheapest I could find quickly

$33 on Amazon
In my 01 all the speakers are 5.25 but it appears you can easily fit 6.5.

I replaced all my speakers with these Rockfords. They sound about as good as you can get when running them off a stock head unit with tape deck. I was surprised at how difficult it is to find cassette tapes.

If they are impounded I doubt they will have titles...isn't that a lot of work just to fix a hole in the floor lol?

Has anyone had to fix their air conditioning? specifically turn mine on and it blows hot air? If so can you give me a idea of what it might entail?
