I know the pick a part off of pyrite and the 60fwy typically always has newer models but charges you for every nut and bolt. I've never had any luck at milliken pick a part with finding newer vehicles. I have called pyrite before and they transfered me to someone who knows there invetory/pulls parts and then sells them. If I remember right they prices for the wj knuckles and brakes weren't too bad but still pricey. Good luck.

PLEASE shoot me a PM if you find a V8 WJ wherever you go. (assuming the tranny is still in it. I'm still on the hunt for that stupid solenoid. Both ebay ones I tried to buy were scams and there is still no way I can afford the dealer cost right now. In fact, if you find one and have a moment call me on the spot at (909) 238-3333.-Brad.

I can tell you that as a Mexican, I get charged for every nut and bolt. Maybe i need to look more indigenous to get the super good discounts.
Come 'on man, I said Mexican, not a hipster mexican! I have a buddy, who's pretty dark skinned mexican, and when he goes, if he checks out, gets better prices. BULLSHIT I TELL YOU!!!

It's a dead give away when you show up to the counter with a axle or something similar instead of a door panel off an '87 Dodge Caravan and a set of bald tires.
I got in an 5 minute arguement last weekend about them charging me for a spindle as part of a disc brake set when it clearly was not. I lost.

I went to the JY on Alameda & Firestone and the douche clerk tried to tell me that the backing plates on a ford 8.8 were 2 pieces. WTF! Its all one cast piece! A-hole charges me for the springs and e-brake pads as well. All in all i paid 100 bux for all of the disk brake parts i needed for my dana 60 axle build. Im sure it would have been way less had he not nickle and dime'd me. What makes it worse is that dude was a mexiXXXX. Funny thing is when i went up to the window they told me a complete axle out the door would be 80 dollars. Yeah right, i bet when i pull it and i get to the window its more like 200. Bastards!

Thats how I got "banned" from the Santa Paula Yard, at the gate they told me it was a half off day and then pull the axle and lug it to the front and they say they never do half off days. I was pissed! Lets just say they ended up having a axle fall to the ground in the middle of the checkout line. As I walked out they said I was banned, I yelled back "don't worry I don't want to come back"! haha

man you guys have had pretty bad luck at JYs. i've had pretty good experience with prices and such, only time i felt over charged was at the PAP off pyrite on a half day, but it wasn't that bad. theres a white guy cashier at the Milliken PAP so i tend to go for his line and get decent prices

Let us know if you have any luck locating any wj's. I would like to start collecting parts for the front brake upgrade. I already have the booster and mc from the wj installed.
