Hello guys, I just got back from scouting out victory auto wreckers and there was not one jeep liberty. They had a couple of older grand cherokee's but that was it. One or two otis's but no evics of any kind anywhere. It was the first time I had been their and was disapointed that place seemed pretty small for a junk yard, mostly older cars, very little SUV's. It would seem to me it might be difficult to find a jeep liberty at that junk yard and at the u pull it on north ave :(

Here's my haul.
Image

I staged the core support and the front bumper near the line then went back for the rear bumper/hitch, carried balanced on my shoulders and back pack. Back at the line, I didn't need my hands on it so I was able to squat and grab the rest. I was applauded as I successfully crossed the line on my first attempt.

Priced out what was brought home, looks to be about $550 worth of stuff for $75 after I paid $25 for the labor to remove the core support.
