- I ventured to the yard to track down a rare and valuable Jeep part... the grill to a 1998 Jeep Grand cherokee Limited 5.9L AKA The Niner! Along the way I hoped to find some tow hooks for WJs, XK Commanders, and WK Grand Cherokees.

The early model neon was one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. Great on gas, the weight balancing was so awesome it didn’t get tail happy in the winter. You just had to make sure to change the oil and keep and eye on the temp gauge.
Son didn’t want payments,
Bought a wrecked PT.
Has pulled 30,000 plus miles
doin as u suggest, Thx for the
GR8 post 🤙🏻💯😎
The upgraded fuel injectors in that neon work in the XJs!
They sure do.....
Lots of comments on the 5.9. And they are all right on. Especially the hood louvers, but also the leather seats front and back. I have a nice 5.9 we just finished upgrading all the suspension. There's a market for all things exclusive to the 5.9. Hell I've bought some stuff just to have a spare.
I'd love the leather shifters and the side skirts!
You probably already know this but some of the simpler gauge clusters in the wj's are really easy to take apart and switch/replace the gauges without messing up your mileage.
Always enjoy the U-Pull videos! I appreciate you tossing in a YJ. But I still hold a special place in my heart for the XJs and WJ I owned! Looking forward to the next one!!
YJs are my favorite rigs!!
Man that 5.9 limited has so many good parts on it 😫. I own 2 and I need another one
I have a dark slate. All original needs head gaskets. Has 160k on the odometer. Clean and clear title. What would you offer? NO RUST WHATSOEVER!
@@geostanley409 where are you located? I'm in Massachusetts looking for 5.9
@@moparlifene I’m in Mid Arkansas.
@@moparlifene that’s a good looking WJ on your profile picture.
I love your junk yard videos! Definitely fun videos that I always learn a lot from. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos! :)
Thanks bud! Glad you enjoy this stuff
I want all the 5.9 ZJ parts. Grille and hood scoops. 360 engine and the holy grail 46RE! OMFG i wish i could get a niner in a junkyard over here that clean..
That 5.9l Limited ZJ is typically how I find them in my area is. Pretty trashed. People just don't take care of anything especially if they're not the ones paying the bills.
Yep, pretty sad. . . They just don't know how cool the niners are....
I have one with 258k miles, no warning lights, rebuilt engine, and all original. I absolutely love it.
501 area code. I have an all original one with factory cold air intake. Clean, clear title, absolutely NO rust! 160k mileage. Needs head gasket on driver side. But for enough money I can make it sound. It runs and drives as is right now. ALL THE POWER AND THROTTLE RESPONSE! And the all wheel drive works too. ALL FACTORY ORIGINAL!in fact, for the right price I’ll replace the head gaskets in your presence if you have the time to spend. It’s the dark slate color.
I'm only here for the obligatory Wrangler! Great run around the junk yard. it's always fun to see what you can find
The Ford Explorers with the 5.0 came with GT40 heads. The same heads that were used on the Cobra Mustangs for a while. Also, the 8.8 rear diffs will swap into a YJ with a little fab work. Been there done that.
2.4 is from aa stratus/breeze.... direct bolt in
Yeah they only came with 2.0's from the factory
Thought it was an srt swap at first until I saw no turbski
@@feron450 I thought so too
Those. door panels are way better than mine.
I'd love to find an older XJ with the tan/kalamkari color interior. A perfect day to be at the salvage yard.
Judging from the seats, and the amount of "weight reduction" that is either a 97 or 98 TJ. That 4.0 engine is unstoppable!
I thought it looked like the 99+ intake manifold
damn id probably snag that whole lift kit out of the cherokee, just installed a 3 inch in my 99
You guys in Murica are lucky. You live in the land of awesome cars... My first was a GMC Vandura, old ambulance. It was in Tel Aviv Israel, parts were hard to get, I was so happy when I found silver rear mirrors at the junk yard. Now Im in Germany, Berlin. Just got me a WJ 2001. more than 300,000km on it... hope it will serve me well.
I have a 5.9 in sandstone and man i have only seen 2 on the road besides mine. The grill on mine was destroyed when i bought it the jeep is is fantastic condition and i drove it daily until i bought a beater to put the miles on
I'm pretty sure the red wrangler just needs a good buffing. Mint! That's what they all look like around here in southern Ontario too.
Yea bud. That'll buff out. She's got some good service life left in 'er
i think the special think of the 5.0 in that explorer were the gt 40 heads
Yea! Now that you mention it, that is exactly what he said was different and that I should pull them if I ever saw them.... dang
an the better factory intake manifold both great upgrades for foxbodys
GT 40P heads on the 5.0 H.O Exploder and the plymouth neon has the same engine from the Mitsubishi just like the eclipse . All 5.9 ZJ stuff is gold ,seats, dIC , shifter ,wheel , hood , rear end ect...
96-mid 97 model v8 explorers had gt40 heads. Mid 97-2001 had gt40p heads.
The rear end too but someone got it already
I love trips to the open-air parts stores. Martin Builds does these too.
IN the world. ON the planet...
My favorite place. The junkyard
Amen to that
I would love to have had those ZJ tow hooks and bracket. I'm also after all the ZJ skid plates I can get my hands on. Great video brother!
I have those tow hooks and a transfer case skid. Located in southern IN
My 98 ZJ has those same tow hooks and brackets, pretty sure it's factory.
those are from Rusty's off road, and they remove themselves if yanked to hard
@@donrochester7037 mine look factory, the way everything else is on the Jeep I highly doubt someone would have taken the time to install tow hooks.
@@donrochester7037 A. Rustys off-road sell trash stuff. B. ZJ's did come factory with tow hooks and had 3 skid plates as options
The hardbody trucks include the king cabs. They’re both designated as a d21. D22 is the pathfinder. Once you sort the timing chain those trucks are bulletproof.
You're 100% right!
Dude! I'll buy that broken Niner grille!! Grab it for me next time! Also the grievous has the same ZJ hooks I scored from a limited.. I guess they are stock after all 🤣🤣🤣
And what about the auto dim mirror on the driver side! Lol
You have yourself a deal! Eric is up there this weekend I will see if he can grab it
Surprised not to see any comments about the electric fan. Unique only to the '98 5.9, not used in anything else. Highly sought after by the offroad guys. You can pull the the entire upper and lower wire harness, coolant tube with couplings and switches, plus the fan. Total plug and play setup for any 96+ 5.2 V8. Beyond that none of the parts are made any more so they are good to grab just for people with a 5.9 looking for replacement parts. Go look up those parts on Ebay, it's nuts.
DANGIT! See.. every time. I will try to scoop it next time I am there. Thanks bud!
If you want to take the electro illuminesscent instruments, you can de-solder the 6 pin memory chip from your cluster and re-solder it in to put your mileage on that cluster. Idk the legality of it. It wouldnt be a lie, and if you arent selling the car, it wouldnt matter.
Hardbodies came in king cab. Yes the red Nissan truck is a hardbody
the dodge neon that was in the video had a stratus 2,4l swap in it now thats cool i never say one at the junk yard before
And they are all over here in our junkyards.
For the TJ, check the skid plate bolts under the trans. If the bolts are offset from the other side then it's an early TJ 97-02, 03-06 have symmetrical bolt pattern on the skid.
6:58 You can buy an EEPROM burner and dump the memory chip on those clusters and modify the miles. I live in Detroit dont ask me why I know this. I had some terrible bosses.
its a pre 03 TJ. you can tell by the seats, they changed them in 03 to a different style
I knew someone on here would be able to tell. haha
I liked the fish story and the allegory. Subscribed.
TJ has 97-00 seat pattern. The HVAC control is dial, which started in '99. The 4.0L has a distributor, which ended in '99. So... It's a '99. :)
Thanks! I knew someone would know!
'01 Limited guages are 1 year only guages with the white faces, but orange needles. They are back-lit with bulbs instead of the '02+ electroluminescent black needle guages.
Good call bud. That is exactly what is was! Couldn't put my finger on it
The hood on that 5.9 zj too!
You said it all newer cars are a hodgepodge of parts!!! Unless they are American they are probably junk!!! I drive a 1987 bronco 2 for work and I have a 2002 jeep!! I say last good year!!!!! I love older cars and trucks!! All my sons and family drives!!!💯🔨👍🏻🏈🎼🍀💡❤️🙏🐟
Canada here...in the world...we live " in" a bubble...I know you know this...lol...love the vids...doin a wj limited now, enjoying, well, the rust! Mostly rebuilt...just ball joints n new brakes then Bam! It's done...following ya t find the rare and pimp it out...keep turning that wrench... one love
If that was a Salvador Dali original radiator you are nuts not to take it haha!
Bro, next time you run across a set of black Limited WJ seats, pull them and I'll buy them from you.
new field of philosophy: neo-garagism.
exploder 5.0 has gt40 heads
Those floor mats are underrated
This was a great fun little adventure, thanks for bringing us along.
That Cali lean was on point 😂😂😂
Hanging angle iron and chain looks like a remote battery bracket judging by the heavy gauge cable next to it?
TJ's didn't change much over the years as far as appearance goes. Later ones had 6 speed transmissions. They changed the location of the vents on the hard top. Little things like that it's super hard to tell the year for a TJ
The only clue I saw was the 4.0 had a distributor, so it was either a ‘97, ‘98, or ‘99... 4.0s got coil packs in 2000.
@@ironman23gt yes that is true. I didn't notice that.
little interior changes too. Seats, console...
@@MrMrsregor yup. But as I said it's just small little changes. If you don't know TJ's you won't spot them.
The 3 opening cowl is a '97 giveaway
Grill and hood
since there are a bunch of ZJ'ers in the comment section, I have a 98 with the 5.2 with the awd transfer case. What transfer case do i need to get to change out to selectable 4wd/2wd?Also what front axle? (the least expensive way possible)
If my memory is correct you need a 96-98 xj 242 if you want 2wd and 4 all time or a 231 if you want 2wd and the usual 4 hi and lo. Front axle should be fine it’s usually the back that needs to be redone after a swap but not always
9:55 Sling Blade!
I would steal them seat thay look good on the camp wj
Down here in the squawk box...man I love these kind of videos, never stop. Just picked up an 04 WJ Laredo and these are invaluable to me. Keep doing your thing man!
There's nothing better than a trip to the yard with no parts on The To Do List if there's no parts on The To Do List that's just a less stress you have to deal with if the parts you're looking for aren't there tell you what I'll do bud I'll keep an eye out for tow hooks here and I'll even ship them to you if I find them
Mighty nice of you bud. I appreciate it. They are just hard to find out here now days!
@@DEInTheGarage Not a problem bud we'd be glad to look for you
Remember the diamond star corporation
The XJ is the Best J....Wranglers are For Cheerleaders....Happy Jeepin from Butler Pa THE Birth Place of the Jeep. Scoop up all the XJ AX-15s you can. I need a pedal box crossmemeber and rear drive shaft. Im collecting the parts for a AX-15 swap in my XJ. You missed the Neon and the Explorer 5.0 Injectors for a 4.0 upgrade....other than the 5.9 ZJ theres nothing no other Bone Yard wouldnt have either. Only in a XJ......
That 5.9 xj would be an R/T they didn't but the badges on.
I'm going to the local yard on Thursday. Trying to do the Volvo fan conversion on my ZJ.
Good luck, bud!
You can also get a Dana30 lsd from some of the Volvos
@@MrMrsregor Already got one, 😆. I had to crack a few diffs ( not a lot of Volvos at my yard), so it took a while to find that golden one.
@@KJsProjects oh i know how you feel. no good volvos at the yard i go to ether, and its a 2 hour drive one way... I just ended up buying a spartan lunchbox locker
Well I score a BMV temperature switch pigtail I have been looking for. The radiator and actual switch were gone, but I can get one online. Maybe by next summer I will have my Volvo fan installed, 😆
The neon amd the talons and eclipses had the 2.0 just the neon had the exhaust in the front and the talon and eclipses had the exhaust in the back and the intake in the front
I'm on the hunt for a camper shell for an 80's Long Bed Ranger (7 foot bed)...last week at the pick a part I found one except some jackass decided to rip the back window & frame off, otherwise it was a pretty decent Leer camper shell. Long bed camper shells for Rangers, S10's and Dakotas apparently are pretty rare to find....so far I've found a couple but have of course been damaged to the point they're of no use. Plus I'm hunting for a set of wheels for my 88 Bronco 2 as well as the ones that are on it currently are somehow all bent, I guess the previous owner of my Bronco 2 did a lot of curb hopping or something to bend up the wheels on it....the tire shop was able to get them balanced but mentioned they're all bent, so I need to track down a set of wheels for it....found a set of Aluminum Mag wheels a couple weeks ago with almost new tires on them for $140 for my 87 Ranger so hopefully I can find some 15 inch mag wheels for my Bronco 2 here soon.
William Sevier I have a nice 7ft cap off of a early 90s Dakota. Offer?
The neons of that year only engines they came with was the 2.0 dual over head cam or single wit ether a 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual
Picked up a 2004 WJ overland this week, I have never been happier. Its got some work to be done, but I have all the time in the world thanks to the pandemic. Its gray unfortunately, but what are you gonna do?
Enjoyed..
Man that ZJ with the grill has my front fender I need. Possibly the drivers door. As for those tow hooks, the aftermarket ones I got from Rusty's are as meaty as them stock ones. I'll throw some pics up on instagram . I'll have to add Dan on there as well. Show off General Grievious's twin.
The intake upper and lower,,,are just like the GT40,,,intake on the 302
I thought something with the heads too. My bronco days were quite a while ago so don’t remember.
@@MJWance Yep, GT40 heads. I have a set I pulled from an explorer
It sucks, I need tow hooks for a 99 grand cherokee limited 4.7, you are the man!
I also have a 98 ram 5.9 6in lift that needs a transmission
: (
Thank you for your videos
I've had good luck selling lift parts. But denver overpriced market. And as gross as the zj was the door pannels were worth a bit, as well as the hood/luvers. Also check headlights, if they are glass they're worth a lot.
98+ 5.0 explorer heads and intake are gt40
Back when I had my grand Cherokee a 5.9 grill was worth 100 bucks I bought one
I love upull i go there at least once a week
To see what they have
You are in the world, but on the earth
That neon might be an ACR, a model made for racing, only came in 5 speed manual, with a front slip differntial. Mostly came in 2 doors. Lots of performance parts and weight loss program, if is a real one. That is a big 4 cylinder engine. I think it had 150-160 horsepower. That was big numbers at the time.
Man I live in the south. These Jeep parts are plentiful. Someone make me a short list of the most sought after parts I'll go pull all I can find and ship them to whoever is interested. Grills, hood louvers, tow hooks, we have it all becuz not many people down here care for keeps. Our biggest thing is Tahoes and Yukons
You can swap the gauge faces....I did it on my wj
2002 and later gauge cluster won’t work in 2001 and older. Can’t remember what was wrong but maybe warning lights on incorrectly. I tried it a couple years ago. 01 limited are the only white face gauge cluster that will work in 99-01
That is good to know. thanks!
Nice video...
You coulda 3D printed the replacement grill section and spray painted it and made loot. "But 3D printers are hobby toys" hmu for 3D printed jeep shtuff. I have a 3 foot printer.
I should take a trip up there once I have a working truck again. Rummaging around old shit looking for gold is fun... plus I certainly have enough vehicles to scavenge for.
Didnt Dodge and Mitsubishi have a mash up with the Dodge stealth?
Yea, I think the Dodge Stealth and Mitsubishi 3000GT were the same car, but I am not sure on the finer points of it.
How could u leave the hub cap thear that hub cap was only may for 10 min in 1962
The 5.9 Limited has a specific front bumper along with the grille. Was the hood there? The air extractors would be cool . . . That "hooned out" XJ looks like S-10 springs in the back. Definitely not OEM front either. Those ZJ tow hooks brackets look factory. Jeep was really good about bracing those. !Get a cordless impact! A life changer. . . Yes, the Japanese cars deserve NO respect. I am with you there. Thanks man, already SUBscribed!
I hope you use the parts you take and arnt just a horder
What yard was this? I need some spare 5.9 parts.
This radiator brought to you by Salvador Dali hahahaha
Neon has a motor swap. Either pt cruiser/eclipse or newer neon
The Neon had a 420A swap from a cloud car. (stratus, breeze, cirrus ect) the eclipse had the same 420A except the intake and exhaust were reverse.
good video ...
You should pull that silver sport bumpers assembly off that 2nd gen ram and ship it to me🤣
I seriously need a YJ drivers seat mount! 😂 but down here in GA all the wranglers are on the road not in junkyards 🤷🏻♂️
I've got one for you.
What are some other rare hard to find jeep parts? Also, what are some jeep forums? Thanks.
I will try to do a video on some other rare Jeep parts. Also, in my opinion the only Jeep forum you need is jeepforum.com. I learned almost everything I know there
hi do you know how to fix the cruise control on a 01 jeep gr cherokee limited 4.7l,its been out since i got the jeep,thanks i will checkout that u-pull.
Little did you know chrysler products has lots of Japanese parts rather you like japanese cars or not 🤣
Hmmmmmmmm... Touche saleman
Very true just had to replace the starter in my 97 zj 5.2. That Japanese part lasted 24 years 223,000 miles!
wow thats a 2.4 swaped neon
they never came with 2.4 you need to make/ buy a passenger side motor mount adapter
Man your yard is way different from the one here in Pontiac
Yea?
5.0 in exploder had P heads slightly better flowing than mustang gt40 heads
I know they aren’t really your thing, but do you see many low mile GM V8 LS-based stuff at Marcy U-pull? I would guess many have rusty/cracked frames. Thanks.
It's me again Margaret. I just remembered I saw a cj ? Once in the late 70s that had a big v 8 and the engine was yellow. Baby poop yellow! Would that have been a AMC era jeep ?
Yep! AMC put a 360 (if memory serves) V8 in the CJs for a bit. They were also big fans of awful shades of yellow...
you just transported me to diaper changing days! thanks
thats prety sweet but i think that was a custom drop but it may not be have you found out anymore about this ? , i knew a guy that dropped a ls2 in his 94 wrangler . lost of work was done to make that happen
Neon seems to be a dohc swap or its got the 2.0 dohc bottom with the newer 2.4 head shaped on to it they make good power for what it is
