PicknPull buys cars and they are true dismantlers...I walked past a "brick" the size of a small car of nothing but wiring harnesses!! They melt down aluminum and lead... Etc! You should see the cars... Most are no exterior damage at all.

So they are buying cheap drive-able cars and parting them out ???


Is this a government project?

This is my Aussie built Cherokee I just bought, I picked her up for 400 bux and she has next to no rust, the FSJs can suffer from bad rust in the roof gutters.

No, not a gov't project! A legit business, they sell vehicles..."builders" that run or need a few things done to get running for 800 to 2k. I saw a 97 Ford expedition for 1200 --didn't ask what it needed, a 94 minivan that needed a tranny for 1k and pontiac car for 1350/ needed fuel pump/ computer. They take the yard cars after sitting and dismantle. They advertise on radio and TV about buying junk cars and trucks daily, monday-friday 8-5!

An example of prices...I bought the lower under steering wheel plastic trim piece and the fuse panel trim piece at footwell on passenger side...total was $13. They charge $2 to walk the yard and look at close to 500 or so vehicles. I go online and check inventory for Cherokees every couple of months... I have been looking for those two pieces since I bought my jeep... Seemed like every time I looked the fuse panel was missing the fuse door... But finally the blue 99 had it intact!!!

Heck yes! I want to convert my electric windows over so I guess I would need the entire internal assembly. If that one passenger rear door is okay, I'd take all four. Pay you and what not.

I'm pretty sure I've seen some leather seats that weren't in terrible condition in poulan, ga at the junkyard it's not to far if you're willing to make the drive

The whole door? Wow, I don't think that is going to be cost effective! Each door goes for 100, and shipping is gonna be close to that for each. How far away are you? That blue one is bad on other side. Either door would not open on driver side. Front end roll over I think. You would be better off to road trip probably.

No, I don't need the whole door. Just the suff inside to convert it i.e. regulators and the door cards. Where is this junkyard again? I'm in East Tennessee. Can't find any in my junkyard...

This one is in Panama City, Fl. But there is also one in Tallahassee. I've not been to Tally, but the inventory says four or five Cherokees. And 7 Cherokees in Panama city. PicknPull.com
