Default Junked Disco What Parts Should I grab?

I have been visiting this junked disco for a while now, only problem is the junkyard gets rid of the vehicles every 5 months. Its nearing that time. And I dont want to be wishing I would have grabbed that ONE part. PLUS ITS SUPER CHEAP

So Far I got...

MAF 6.50$- SOLD 50$
Few trim peices
IACV 5$
TPS 5$
EVERY ENGINE COMPARTMENT FUSE [FREE]
Alternator 15$
Compressor 17$ [Isn't selling on ebay for some reason]
Transmission cooling line 5$
ECM 16$
Transmission / A/C FANs 15$ sold one for 40$
Fuel Pump [sold]

Plan to get
VSS
Door Lock parts
FPR
Relay Moudule
Engine fuel temperature (EFT) sensor
Engine Temperature Sensor
Crank Sensor


Anything else I should grab before its gone?

Grab both diffs and the rear axle shafts.
Not sure what your budget is but getting near the end prices should drop.
Radiator, window regulators, power steering pump and box.

They are swivel *****, with the spindles still attached, so no messing with shims and preload and bearings,etc

Hmm, I really wasn't thinking of grabbing big parts like that. I wish I could afford it, Id grab the engine 150$ Transmission 60$ and transfercase 100$

Oh and at this junk yard all prices are fixed. http://www.pullapart.com/pricing/Mai...=14&#pricelist

Grab everything you can fit in your vehicle and your budget. More than likely if you don't need it now you will in the future, or someone will.

Dude the whole engine for $150?
Take out a loan and grab everything you can.
Hell, just taking the engine to the scrap yard you'll get $100 for it because its all aluminum.

Actually, if it is a DI I would grab the transfer case. You could sell it at a nice profit with the CDL feature. Get the complete linkage if possible. And the tranny.
