I have one just like that here in NM. I got all of my 5 speed swap parts including the tranny and driveshaft for about $140. I go there once a week just to look around sometimes. I just got a like new set of Moog upper control arms with grease fittings for the ball joints for $30. The damn place is addicting!metalman said:Damn! You guys don't have a "U-Wrench-It" there then? This place kicks a#*. They are the Wal-mart thrift store of junkyards.
All the cars are set up in rows and isles by make with BIG sign in front of each make, "GM", "FORD", "CHRYSLER", "IMPORTS", "TRUCKS/VANS". There is a price list frame in the main building before you go out the the yard so you know exactly what your paying. And in most cases there cool and hook you up anyway. All the cars are up on rims usually under the frame rails with one horizontally on the ground, then one rim welded vertically to raise the car about 2 feet off of the ground. The tanks are puncture and most of the fluids are already drained out. They even give you wheell barrows, engine hoists, port-o-potties And in the summer they sometimes are grilling hotdogs and hamburgers and have sodas and stuff for sale.
Here's an example of the glory of UWI- And I've posted this before...I got aluminum rearend parts off of a 94 Mark VIII.
Aluminum Driveshaft- $24
Aluminum Pumpkin- $22 (Same as in 2003 Cobras for approx $300)
Upper and lower control arms- $11 each
and a mint, absolutley mint condition 92 SC/LX front clip for $32.
I guess my area is kinda fortunate for have a facility like this. I know there are other U Wrench It's in the US. Are any buy you guys? I've only been to one other JY in my area and and I know there are at least 1/2 a dozen others and it was a far cry from UWI so, I'm guessing that it is not the norm to have such a clean and organized JY facility..??
