Default major junk yard score

made out great today at a u pull yard I goto disco 1 got the bug hubcap for the steel spare, had brand new lines for the ps pump got them, new trans lines got them ( all 3 ), copper radiator, lock actuator, latch assembly, outer door handle all for the rear pass side door $45

and I am going back tommorow cause it has a 2" lift with bilstien shocks no idea what brand springs but they look shiney new and black looks like they have marks with colored paint does that give a clue to the brand springs? the y still have the paper mfg stickers buy the ink is gone

they said $65 for the springs and shocks guess i am canceling my backordered lift

figuring we will unbolt everything and have them lift it so the springs fall off

Wow, I scored a copper radiator,window motor, fuel pump harness, a MAF and some other small stuff for 150 today. No sweet suspension or anything. Really wish I had snagged the TPS of the two they had.

Some jackass pulled the fuel pump on the 98 they had, broke the sending unit and took the pump and left the broken sending unit on the ground.

They are ARB springs, the colors are to tell you which corner they go on as Rover uses corner specific springs.
