I'm building out a 16 JKU. Just a question for all - Has anyone figured out a creative way of ridding your garage of the stock parts, bumpers, seats, interior rugs, etc.? Normal sale chains in this area haven't yielded much success. Seems such a waste to take them to the canyon.
Worth very little to nothing.
I'd rather take em to the dump than to have to drive them around town or have strangers at my house to trade them for a clumsy dozen.
When I got the rubi in 15 here's what I got for parts. Headlights 20, rock rails 175, springs 25, shocks 175, tow hook 10, soft top 600, tires/wheels 1000 (dealer bought them), hood I still have, 430 radio 50, bumpers 100 for both. Everything else I had to give away. Oh driveshafts 200
Check Craigslist and post them there with a lower price then anybody else has. The easiest wheels and suspension parts to sell are from Hard Rocks/Rubicon's. You won't easily sell sport or Sahara springs/shocks, maybe somebody will buy the Sahara tires if theirs are wearing out.
What I see is either guys trying to finance their upgrades purchase or they are trashed parts. Yet if I am willing to drive a few hours they are reasonable priced in the big cities. Just because the stock bumper new is like $600+ doesn't mean it's worth it used, $50-100 and they move on CL.
In the past I have sold most of my spare parts through Carigs list. Even sold the muffler. the only thing I could not get rid of, offering first for $25, then even offering for FREE was the spare tire carrier. Ended up chucking it in the garbage.
If they're brand new take-offs, see if there's a body shop local to you who'd want the bumpers and tire carrier. They buy from you for $100/piece and sell to the customer / customer's insurance at full retail.
As for springs, unless you've got high rate springs (19/60's), don't expect them to sell. The shocks, unless they're Rubicon red shocks, won't sell for very much / very fast. Build up some karma by giving them away.
Seats for some reason seem to do well on Craigslist in my area, at $350/ea, or $400ish for leather. As for rugs - you mean the stock carpet (going Line-X), or the weather mats? A full interior carpet is going to be tough to unload - maybe to a body shop, and the mats that go on top of the carpet you can get maybe $75-100 for a full set on CL.
I wish more folks sold off their Jeep stuff on CL. I look in hopes to find some part that I may use and all I ever find is bumpers. Scores and scores of stock plastic bumpers. Often with ridiculous prices.
It's looking like the small community in our local area has a surplus of stock Jeep parts. One Jeeper is selling off bumpers, stock susupension, and interior for a new JKU for $1 on Craigslist. Looks like I'm heading to the dump.
I kept mine for a 'return to stock' day. The aftermarket parts gain you 20% return if left on the jeep. You can get 50% if you sell them separate.
