I went to the junkyards today Riversdie, Ontario and San Bernandino. Found some cool parts, but the expereince of just junking and turning a wrence on something I couldn't jack up was way priceless.
One fellow said craigslist was better and cheaper, but as a craigslist fan, nothing beats going and hunting for the part yourself!

Do you live in that area? I am at the Ontario, and Hillside pick-a-part all the time. Mostly for my daily driver though, which is a honda civic. Any useful finds? I haven't had to get anything for the Burb yet so I don't usually cruise the truck section.


I live in chino BTW. Cool to see some more local people on here

Yea, the most desirable one would be from a '99-'01 Explorer. That way I could at least attempt to stay smog legal. But if the right deal came up on an older one I probably wouldn't pass it up.
